A recommended read

.. for every C++ programmer is Bjarne Stroustrups’s C++ Style and Technique FAQ. Answered me a lot of (in my case trivial) questions but goes in-depth and definitely helps improving your coding style. Speaking of which, I also use Doxygen a lot to comment out my code and generate documentation from it. It gracefully allows Javadoc-style comments, making it less painful to comment C++ code when using both languages frequently. As for coding conventions, I’ve pretty much adapted the variant of the BSD KNF style used by Eclipse.
