C++ Coding Standards: 101 Rules, Guidelines, and Best PracticesEssential guidelines for writing high-quality C++ code--taught by two foremost masters in the field.Provides a collection of programming rules (101) that is terse, easy to understand and follow, and self-sufficient. Teaches basic rules and widely-accepted and authoritative practices for writing sound software in C++. Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu are two of the world's foremost experts on software development in general and C++ in particular. Every software development team should have and follow a coding standard. It's even better when what the coding standard requires is actually consistent, reasonable, and correct. Coding standards have many advantages: They improve code quality. This happens automatically when following a good, simple set of guidelines. They improve development speed, because the programmer doesn't need to always make decisions starting from first principles. They enhance teamwork by eliminating needless debates on inconsequential issues and by making it easy for teammates to read and maintain each other's code. The coding standards introduced by this book are a collection of guidelines for writing high-quality C++ code. They are the distilled conclusions of a rich collective experience of the C++ community. Until now, this body of knowledge has been available only as folklore or spread in bits and pieces throughout books.
