Best practice guidelines & the advanced developer exam.

0
Dear community, After working with Mendix for a year i figured its time to get my advanced certification and since implementing Mendix's best practice guidelines is part of that I’m freshing up on them by reading this documentation page: https://docs.mendix.com/howto/general/dev-best-practices One thing that worries me is that in all the projects I worked on so far we use the prefix “SUB_” for submicroflows, but there is no mention of this prefix in the page mentioned above. The more experienced devs I work with are telling me they used the SUB prefix on their exams, but they have gotten their advanced certification +4 years ago so things might have changed? Does anyone who recently took the exam know if I’m allowd to use the SUB prefix?

Hi Robin,

The reason the use of the ‘SUB_’ prefix is not mentioned in the best practices document, is because it is not a best practice :) It does not add anything.

If the prefix has a meaningful information about its use (ACT, BCo, DS etc) add it, otherwise I would adhere to “<ObjectName>_<Function>”

I did the exam at the start of this year somewhere and I seem to have used SUB_ at certain parts. 
You could always try to ask the examinator present quickly before starting the exam if they accept the SUB prefix ;) 

 What they do is look at several areas (as discussed in the advanced course) and also look at overall impression as well. I doubt one prefix would be enough to make a severe impact on this
