It doesn't matter which wire you use as hot and which one is switched when
connected to a switch. I have a wiring book that has two different examples.
One way white is hot to the switch and the other example black is hot to the
switch.
You should always mark a white wire that is used as hot with black tape at
both ends to identify it as a hot wire.
It is also common practice to come into the bottom of the switch with the
always hot wire and go out the top of the switch with the switched wire.

If you use my method, you will not have to mark the wire at the lamp to
determine which is the hot leg at the lamp. The power coming up from the
switch
will be a black wire and yopur white wire is already there. Do it the other
way.....someone will know you are not a pro and were reading those DIY books.
We all want to work like pros RIGHT?
