favorite style guide?

suggestions please.

thanks!

What do you mean by "style"? The term can refer to things from "C style code" to "indent style" to "write your code with a flourish" :)

well, i've noticed an unparalleled amount of pedantry on this board. as snarky as that may sound initially, i know this is usually for good reason in programming.

since my education was in chemical engineering and not EE or comp sci, i never got this kind of formalized brow beating about what is good style/practice and what is not.

i'm interested in 'good practice' guides that help make code efficient, easily maintained, etc.

google is rife with possibilities, and i can't go about reading lots of them, so i am asking for suggestions on which guides to read.
