Method naming conventions

This is just another rehash of what you've probably read many other places.

Start the method with a verb and end it with a noun. You want to make the method name be like what it does.

Bad method names.
verify
get

Good method names
verifyPhoneNumber
getAccount

I ran across a method today that threw me. An object was declared off of my screen and set to
employee = getEmployee()

I was looking for a property of the employee object so I went digging for it, however, the object appeared to be a string. I went looking and yep, it was.

String employee; was declared off the screen above and the method returned the EmployeeName. Inside the getEmployee method it actually retrieved an employee object then returned just the name.

A few refactors later and everything was all better.
