We were talking about Microsoft's Hungarian notation, which was the first (and hopefully only ever) widespread use of it. The /name/, "Hungarian", refers to origins of the Microsoft chief architect who invented it, and yes, he did that long before joining Microsoft, namely Charles Simonyi, who was born Hungarian. In an ¹interview in 1986 he explained the notation name this way: <quote> It's called "Hungarian" as a joke. You know they say, "That's Greek to me," meaning they don't understand it, so it might as well be written in Greek. "Hungarian" is a twist on that phrase because these naming conventions are actually supposed to make the code more readable. The joke is that the program looks so unreadable, it might as well be written in Hungarian. But it's a set of conventions that controls the naming of all quantities in the program. </quote> Wikipedia's ²article about the notation does mention that "the original Hungarian notation … was invented by Charles Simonyi", but somehow the authors of that article failed to catch on to the fact that he is Hungarian, or that Hungarian sounds like Greek to most people, and invented a silly explanation about the order of first name and surname in Hungarian – such is the standard of this Wikipedia article. Anyway, apparently Simonyi wrote an influential ³internal Microsoft memorandum about the notation, which caused it to be adopted as a standard in Microsoft's application division in the early DOS days. Note: the first IBM PC and DOS appeared in 1981, so that sets the time frame for the first serious adoption, and in particular the adoption in Microsoft, which we discussed. Then Petzold included a description of it at the start of his "Programming Windows" book, which introduced it to the masses via the Windows programmers. I think it's not so important that Petzold also used it, but you're right that he did.
