+# Coding Style
+
+This is a short document describing the preferred coding style for the UEFI Monitor Test. It is in many ways exactly the same as the EDKII coding style.
+
+### 1. Indentation
+
+Indentation are 2 spaces. Having 2-character indentations makes the code don't move too far to the right, and makes it easy to read on a 80-character terminal screen.
+
+Never use tab characters. Set editor to insert spaces rather than a tab character. 
+
+Correct:
+
+```
+if (TRUE) {
+  Print (L"Hello, world!\n");
+}
+```
+
+Incorrect:
+
+```
+if (TRUE) {
+    Print (L"Hello, world!\n");
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Breaking long lines and strings
+
+The preferred limit on the length of a single line is 80 characters. If statements longer than 80 columns, then you should break it into sensible chunks
+
+These same rules are applied to function headers with a long argument list.
+
+### 3. Placing braces and spaces
+
+The preferred way is to put the opening brace last on the line, and put the closing brace first:
+
+```
+if (TRUE) {
+  Print (L"Hello, world!\n");
+}
+```
+
+This applies to all non-function statement blocks (if, switch, for, while, do). Always use braces, even when there is only one statement:
+
+```
+for (Index = 0; Index < MaxVal; Index++) {
+  FreePool (Buffer[Index]);
+}
+```
+
+However, there is one special case, namely functions. The opening brace should always appear separately on the a new line:
+
+```
+VOID
+SomeFunction (
+  VOID
+  )
+{
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Naming
+
+[CamelCase](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_case) used for variables, functions and file names:
+
+```
+#include "FooFileName.h"
+...
+VOID SuperFunction (
+  ...
+  UINTN ALocalVariable;
+  UINTN UefiVersion;
+```
+
+UPPERCASE used for types and macros:
+
+```
+#define BOOT_MANAGER_FORMSET_GUID \
+  { \
+  0x847bc3fe, 0xb974, 0x446d, {0x94, 0x49, 0x5a, 0xd5, 0x41, 0x2e, 0x99, 0x3b} \
+  }
+
+#define BOOT_MANAGER_FORM_ID  0x1000
+
+#define BOOT_MANAGER_CALLBACK_DATA_SIGNATURE  SIGNATURE_32 ('B', 'M', 'C', 'B')
+```
+
+### 5. Use UEFI types
+
+Never use C types. UEFI has macros for common data types. They are in the file `MdePkg/Include/_Arch_/ProcessorBind.h`.
+
+Correct:
+
+```
+INTN   ALocalVariable;
+UINTN  UefiVersion;
+VOID   *Ptr;
+```
+
+Incorrect: 
+
+```
+int           ALocalVariable;
+unsigned int  UefiVersion;
+void          *Ptr;
+```
+
+
