Re: school coding standards
There are 2 types of standards (Global, Local)
the global ones can be found on the sun website - And by the way they are local to Sun - And there are the local standards which any company specifies so that all code looks the same instead of having too many ways of doing the same thing (Or in other words keep all code readable to people who understood a small piece of it).
If your school uses different standards than the ones your used to... Well, get over it and get used to how they do things. It might not be the best way but it'll get you a good grade ;)

I'd never work for a company that was that strict about it.

You'll always be a freelancer then :D
Re: school coding standards
Standards are there for a reason, if everyone was allowed to do what ever they wanted, they wouldn't be standards, would they? Every shop has their own set of rules. We're pretty ruthless with ours. We have to be. We can't afford to have 12 different "personal standards". If some thing wasn't coded or named right, during the code review, it is sent back. I've had stuff returned to me, and I've returned stuff to others.
Even working freelance your own personal standards may not work. Depends on how hard nosed the client wants to be about the code you are selling them conforming to their standards.

And I'd NEVER work for a company that didn't.
