John is correct, but to clarify his answer:
In any programming language, "Camel Case" is camelCase. The first letter of the name is always lower-cased and any subsequent words are Upper-Cased. (eg. thisIsWhatCamelCaseLooksLike).
What you are referring to when you Upper-case the first word in the name is called "Pascal Case".
Hope that helps to clear it up. :)
