variable naming conventions

[Rsir]

Looking for the rules to name variables, etc.
And understand what variables are doing by reading their names.

I googled < api assembly naming conventions >

but still no fast usable result.
trying to understand the purpose of the variables in the win32api helpfile,
Hungarian notation is insufficient and seems also a bit out of date.

does anyone know a link to a clear explanation?

there are many others - just google "Hungarian notation"
can you give an example that isn't documented in those places ?

it may be helpful to understand that the conventions were born in a world of C programmers
i.e. C coding documentation may be a good place to look
