| Mendix advises using names which avoid abbreviations and underscores. Entity names should use PascalCase, for example, **HousekeepingRecord** or **LogEntry**. | ||

| Following these entity naming conventions will prevent issues with naming conflicts between modules and entities. For example, if a module named **Customer** contains an entity named **customer** (note the lower-case "c"), there will be a Java compilation error and the app will not run. Renaming the entity to **Customer** will solve the problem. |

I find this unclear - if the module name is capitalized and the entity name is not capitalized why is there a naming conflict. Surely the conflict comes if two things have the same name.
