Which is better, using magic method names (i.e., beginRender()) or annotations (i.e. BeginRender)?
There is no single best way; this is where your taste may vary. Historically, the annotations came first, and the method naming conventions came later. The advantage of using the method naming conventions is that the method names are more concise, which fewer characters to type, and fewer classes to import. The main disadvantage of the method naming conventions is that the method names are not meaningful. onSuccessFromLoginForm() is a less meaningful name than storeUserCredentialsAndReturnToProductsPage(), for example. The second disadvantage is you are more susceptible to off-by-a-character errors.
