Writing Magento Modules

All custom modules should have a Namespace and Module Name. These are used below as {Namespace} and {Module}.

Caution: The Magento autoloader is known to have problems with CamelCase namespaces and/or modules between Windows and *nix systems. If your module requires more than one word for either of these, it is best to just concatenate them to avoid any issues (Example: {Namespace}_{Examplemodule}).
