De Red Hat Magazine: Apresentando o NetworkManager :
Words with the creator
NetworkManager creator and developer Dan Williams took time out of his hectically busy schedule to answer some questions.
What's with those StudlyCaps, anyway?
Well, coming from a Classic Mac OS background, in which everything was StudlyCaps, it is quite natural for me to use the Shift key, which many Linux programmers seem to run away from in fear. Which is quite silly, if you ask me. There's nothing to be afraid of. In any case, it also had to do with aesthetics. A daemon called network_manager just doesn't look good (using '_' instead of ' ' probably comes from the traditional Unix aversion to spaces in file names, which is also silly), and networkmanager is just pathetically hard to read, so it had to be NetworkManager.
