A name is important. When we remember a name, we feel respected. Creating a business name is difficult as there are many options. Some names become synonymous with what they represent. The name should have meaning. For example, “Aspen Creek” is located in Aspen. Once you have a name, decide on the business type. A restaurant might want a food-related name.
Software development involves programming code, testing, debugging, updates and maintenance. There are types based on function, features, scope, size and approach. For example, web development involves coding web pages. Prototyping development produces a prototype to test design.
There are abbreviations for development like "dev" and "devel". It follows the software development life cycle including planning, writing, modifying and maintaining software to meet requirements.
A frontend web developer focuses on the user interface. A developer might create an operating system or write scripts to automate interactions between programs. Deliberate action can change things for the better, like providing aid.
How do you name a development project? A project name should be short, simple and meaningful. Keep it simple so anyone can easily understand. Don’t add difficult words. Be creative and think outside the box.
For instance, if it’s a .Net project, you will be quite stuck with the name you choose. Projects usually get boring names, even if the site has a nice name. In other technologies moving code to a new folder is the "project". Witty names can be great fun.
You can give an internal project a crappy name. But if you might go public, make some effort. Developers can learn from marketing pros. We didn’t ask our marketing team for naming tips. They’re busy and we didn’t want to bother them.
A good name accurately describes the project. It sets the tone. For example, “Bridge over River” tells what and where but not too much. Similarly, “Web Portal Development” says what and what needs done.
Be creative when picking a name. It should be original and meaningful. The name must match the topic so people understand it. It should link to the organization’s objectives.
Test the name against objectives. It should represent the project and evoke relevance.
