For example: lower_case_with_underscores for components, routines and loops TitleCase for spreadsheet variables reverseSentenceCase for code variables Use var…

If you want to run experiments online then each experiment (psyexp file) needs to be in a separate folder, preferably on your hard drive rather than in a cloud folder.

Beyond that, I feel your question is too vague for further specific advice.
