This page should be merged with Camel case. --Zundark 11:38 Nov 26, 2002 (UTC)

Will do. I'm deleting the destination & moving this, as it has the most history. -- Tarquin -- Done. -- Tarquin 13:11 Nov 26, 2002 (UTC)

The old joke is....why isn't the word for palindrome a palindrome? Somehow that relates to my qustion: why isn't Camel case written in a Camel case style? Should it be written as CamelCase in this article?Kingturtle 01:45 Apr 17, 2003 (UTC)

Actually it IMHO very much should be written and titled "CamelCase", because that is also the common usage. Feel free to move/edit/fix redirects as appropriate. --Eloquence 04:27 May 5, 2003 (UTC)
Done. Kingturtle 04:39 May 5, 2003 (UTC)

Also, what is the origin of the term Camel case? I am guessing that it is because the capital letters are like humps on a camel, but it should be stated in the article. Also, was there a particular programming language that named it that? Or did this word evolve from the street like spam? Kingturtle 01:49 Apr 17, 2003 (UTC)

No idea who named it first, but yes, it's because of the capital letters resembling camel humps. Not sure if it even originated with programming, because the convention there is usually likeThis, i.e. lower case first. --Eloquence 04:49 May 5, 2003 (UTC)
