Apologies for way OT q
There are a multitude of ways to code the same logic in C++.
Are there are some snippets on the book/web library perhaps, that
reflect / capture really good programming practices (C++)? Are there
some pieces that you veterans out here have looked at and said "wow
this is a cool implementation"? Any recommendations ? Books ? URL's?
some open source modules ?
This is for an intermediate C++ programmer hoping to broaden one's
coding skills.My emphasis is more on elegance than raw smarts
IMO in programming, one should not be concerned with
'elegance', however attractive such a notion might be.
Instead concentrate on clarity (readability), maintainability,
and robustness.
Try the books by Scott Meyers (Effective C++, More Effective C++,
Effective STL), and Herb Sutter (Exceptional C++). They should
be easy to find with google, and available from most booksellers,
both online and off.
