#summary Describes the coding style rules we follow

=Rules?=
Like any other open-source project we have setup some 'Coding Style Rules' to prevent the code from becoming a mess. There may seem to be a lot of rules, but a great part of it is pretty standard.

  * We work object-oriented
  * All classes should be re-usable
  * A tab width is 4
  * Do not create new variables if not neccesary
  * Keep your code small but effective
  * Always add comments and documentation
  * Keep function and variable names descriptive
  * Form elements names should be written as Type_Name
     For example: TextBox_Phonenumber
  * Use error handeling by creating exceptions in the exceptions class
  * Test your code before submitting
  * Never delete code from somebody else, simply comment it to prevent execution.
  * Add your self to the credit list on top of the file when you contributed to it.
  * Use shortening of if/for/while/foreach statements whenever possible.
  * HTTP request need to be made Asynchronously or in a seperated Thread
  * Unsafe threading is allowed as long as correct error handeling is used
