Good tips! Thanks [Davies Esiro](https://hashnode.com/@ted_opi_)

I just happen to have tweeted recently about this too. Hope you find something useful:

> Good naming:

> -   For classes -> Nouns
> -   For methods -> Verbs
> -   Methods that return booleans: isX or hasX -> isValidCell(...)
> 
> Use your IDE to make refactoring and renaming easier
