Review
'The expansion of each entry is well done and from time to time extra bonus information nestles either in the main text or in a footnote … There are a few experts who would find nothing new in this book, but most of the rest of us would benefit from it … Buy a copy …' Francis Glassborow, CVu
'The Elements of Java Style is perfect in what it tries to achieve. Each rule is sensible, hardly any are debatable, and there is no excuse for ignoring any of them.' JavaZone Book of the Week
'If you teach C++, I recommend you mention this book to your students. If you manage a group of C++ programmers, you should acquire one or more copies of this book, and circulate them among your people. If you manage a technical library, you should add this book to it … contains a great deal of good advice … In summary, this will be a good addition to a C++ programmer's library.' Computing Reviews
'It offers 175 pithy C++ style tips, covering everything from naming conventions to thread safety. The book would be most useful for development teams that want to use it as a resource for creating their own style guides.' Computing Reviews

Product Description
The Elements of C++ Style is for all C++ practitioners, especially for those working in teams where consistency is critical. Just as Strunk and White's The Elements of Style provides rules of usage for writing in the English language, this text furnishes a set of rules for writing in C++. The authors offer a collection of standards and guidelines for creating solid C++ code that will be easy to understand, enhance and maintain. The book provides conventions for: • formatting • naming • documentation • programming • and packaging for the latest ANSI standard of C++, and also includes discussion of advanced topics such as templates.

All the "elements" of a great book, 15 Jan 2007
By David - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Elements of C# Style (Paperback)
If you are new to C# or are wanting to start writing cleaner, more efficient, more professional, and just plain smarter code, this is a must-read. These guys definitely know their stuff and give some excellent tips. It's light and quick-read, easy to pick up and read a bit during down times, short enough to power through in one sitting, and serves as a great reference. For the money, this is one of the best books I've bought in a long time.

Small in size, large in content, 1 July 2004
By Charles Ashbacher - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Elements of C++ Style (SIGS Reference Library) (Paperback)
This book is too small to be used as a physical weapon in the "style wars." Nevertheless, it is large in terms of content. Nearly all of the areas of style differences and disputes are covered. The authors do a good job in presenting their solutions to style difference problems without resorting to evangelical techniques. They express their opinions, justify them and then move on to the next style issue. Small segments of code, demonstrating both the right and wrong ways, are used to illustrate the point.The issues are placed into several groups:
* General principles.
* Formatting conventions.
* Naming conventions.
* Programming principles.
* Programming conventions.
* Packaging conventions.
The 175 style issues are summarized into a set of short rules at the end of the book, which makes it easier to find specific elements.
This book is not a bible, setting down the commandments for the proper style to be used in creating C++ code. It is a set of suggestions, and if you read it with that in mind, you will find this book of value.

Indispensable Tool, 12 Dec 2007
By Rhy Mednick "Rhy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Elements of C# Style (Paperback)
I've been working with C# since before it was in pre-release, and I still find myself cracking this book open a couple of times a week to look over the formatting recommendations it makes. The consistency I get by using this tool (book) makes my code easier to review by others, and easier to follow when I have to go back and fix bugs. I keep a copy of it on my desk at work and at home, and a third copy in my laptop bag. The index is great and I never have a problem finding what I need almost instantly. In fact, I often read the sections around the one I need as a quick review. I really love it.
