-# Coding Standards
+## Coding Standards
+Since the CSO Finance Dashboard is built on-top of CodeIgniter 3, the **PHP scripting language** will be utilized. </br>
+As a result, standard PHP practices and conventions will be followed.
+
+### Function naming conventions
+Considering CodeIgniter follows the MVC framework, the following functions naming conventions is followed for both contollers and models:
+<br><br>
+
+#### Loading view pages.
+
+For functions that loads html pages, all function names must be in lowercase and the spaces is delimited by an underscore. <br>
+An example can be seen below.
+```
+public function activity_page($orgInitials,$pageID) {
+    // Redirect to login if session does not exists.
+    $this->checkSession();
+    // Load ActitivityModel.php
+    $this->load->model('CSOmodel');
+
+    ...
+
+    $this->load->view('cso_activity_page', $activity);
+  }
+```
+
+#### CRUD Functions
+For functions that performs CRUD (Create, Retrieve, Update, and Delete functions), function names should follow Camel Case naming convention. An example can be seen below.
+
+```
+public function checkSession(){
+    if($this->session->has_userdata('email')){
+      return;
+    }
+    redirect(site_url('login'));
+  }
+```
+
+#### Important Note
+If a function both performs CURD and loading of html, **the loading of view naming convention is followed.**
