This document outlines our de-facto code standards. The intent is not to be overly legalistic, but rather to give a solid set of guidelines to which developers are expected to adhere. The primary motivation is two- fold: [1] code consistency and [2] best practices. By maintaining consistency in coding styles and conventions, we can ease the burden of legacy code maintenance, and mitigate risk of breakage in the future. By adhering to best practices, we ensure optimized page loading and performance.

The guidelines in this document cover the appropriate usage of standards compliant HTML, CSS, and JavaScript - as advocated by the World Wide Web Consortium and the Web Standards Project, the governing bodies of best practices on the web. It also covers some of the nuances of how we program in the C# language and utilize the ASP.NET framework.
