As a point of order, you most certainly *should* get into the 
habit of naming things according to the "Cocoa way" so that it is 
easy to support KVC/KVO. Sure, you can use camel notation only when 
needed for KVC/KVO, but you have to know the rules well and if you're 
going to develop Cocoa applications, it's best to follow conventions 
so you don't break convention-dependent mechanisms such as KVC/KVO.

  I see no harm whatsoever in volunteering that information along 
with the rest of the discussion, especially when the OP identifies as 
a newbie and looks to be fairly misguided. There's no need at all to 
be adversarial on this point - this kind of guidance is quite helpful 
to a newbie and is exactly what helped me get started on a lot of 
languages.

  Just my humble Idiot Opinion ... ;-)
