Learn the difference between "Apps Hungarian" and "Systems 
Hungarian". I'd support former but there's no way I'd use latter for 
anything.

"But then something kind of wrong happened.

The dark side took over Hungarian Notation.

documentation writers on the Windows team inadvertently invented 
what came to be known as Systems Hungarian."
