Magento Dependency Injection implementation comes with the very powerful concept of Virtual Types.  However, with great power comes great responsibility. Virtual types provide a declarative way to create multiple instances of a single PHP class, each with a different constructor argument. This allows developers to implement new functionality or change Magento behavior with less code and so with fewer bugs. As with any other subject in programming, a good naming of virtual types allows writing code that is easy to understand and support. In this post we describe the future naming scheme that Magento will be using from now on for naming of virtual types. Feedback is welcome!

In the introductory post to the Magento developer blog, Ben Marks mentioned a number of developer-focused initiatives which we are implementing this year. Rather than keep you all guessing, I'd like to share our roadmap for these initiatives.
