M1/M2 | Extensions - best practices for naming, versioning, author

Question

was wondering what is the best practice for ...

• naming an extentsion?
• where to put the copyright holders /authors name?
• versioning (major.minor.patch maybe) of extensions

I guess there must be conventions or bet practices for this (M1 / M2) but couldn't really find anything thus far?

Answer 1

You can find plenty of resources online but i would suggest Dev Docs is right place to start with Create new module.

You will get some insight which files are needed why needed and where these have to be placed while developing a module.
