Programming style should vary according to the needs of its users.  Beginners
may have different needs from experts; your ALL UPPER CASE FOR KEYWORDS may
be the right way to go because they need the emphasis.

Keywords need de-emphasizing for experts, however, because they've learned
them so well that recognition, understanding, and use of keywords is mostly
automatic and unconscious.  Instead experts need to have the types, variables, 
and so on stand out.

Still, I'd suggest using one of the published style guides.  Beginners need 
to learn to adopt professional habits and tools as soon as possible so they 
won't remain beginners.
