##Coding Guidelines

• Single quotes unless extremely necessary
• No php short tags. Instead of <?= we should use <?php echo http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1386620/php-echo-vs-php-short-tags/
• No inline css styles
• Do not change the template_header or template_footer files
• Source Control Guidelines
• Every commit should have a meaningful message.
• Commits should be small.
• It would be sane for each one of us to develop our stuff on a development separate branch and then merge it to the master once stable.
• The best way I found of doing this is first merging the destiny branch (master) into our development branch first.
• Conflicts should be solved in the development branch.
• After the development branch is conflict free, it should be merged back to the master branch with a nice commit message
