The origin of "Hungarian" notation for naming variables

Well, if you in software development field, you'll inevitably encounter the famous coding convention: so called
"Hungarian" notation, ever wondering why it has something to do with Hungary, why not any other countries, here's the clue.

Actually it referring to the nationality of their original developer, Charles Simonyi, you must heard of that name, don't you?

quote from wikipedia  Simonyi was born in Budapest, Hungary on September 10, 1948. While in high school he worked part-time as a night watchman at a                                                                                   
computer laboratory. He took an interest in computing and learned to program from one of the laboratory's engineers. By the time
 he graduated high school he had learned to develop compilers and sold one of these to a government department.

Simonyi continued to Stanford University for graduate studies and was hired by Xerox PARC( flagship research division of the Xerox Corporation,  It is best known for essentially creating the modern personal computer graphical user interface (GUI) paradigm ) during its most productive period, working alongside luminaries Alan Kay, Butler Lampson and Robert Metcalfe. He and Lampson developed Bravo, the first WYSIWYG document preparation program.

In 1981, at Metcalfe's suggestion, he applied directly to Bill Gates for a job at Microsoft. At Microsoft Simonyi oversaw the development of what became its most profitable products, Word, Excel and Excel's predecessor Multiplan.
