I use the Hungarian Notation at work because we use the
Microsoft platform and tools almost exclusively.  Microsoft
uses Hungarian notation all through their code so we follow
that style to maintain consistency.

Basically, Hungarian Notation uses a prefix to denote the
variable's type along with camel casing (first letter
capitalized for every word and every letter internal to
that word not capitalized).  Pointers use a 'p' letter
in the prefix, floats use 'f', doubles use 'd', etc...

For instance:

float fCurrentEgtTemperature;      // local variable
float   m_fCurrentEgtTemperature;  // member of struct/class
int     *m_piLastTimingOffsetUsec; // member, integer ptr

That's a brief starter.  I hated it at the start, since
it's really ugly to look at.  However, it does grow on
you.  But that affection may just be habit instead of any
actual virtue inherent in Hungarian Notation.
