Thread: Programming Habits

Hi,
I was wondering if someone can point me to some good books or on-line tutorials with good programming habits for preventing runtime error, code clarity and readability, etc?
I have been bothered by these kinds of problems now and then. I've been trying to summarize the lessons that I have experienced, but advice from others is definitely in great need.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you! I am going to take a look.

The series of books starting with "Exceptional C++" and More Exceptional C++, published by Addison Wesley, are all good reads. I'd dare say, must reads, perhaps.

The series "Effective C++" isn't bad, either.

One of Laserlight's suggested author, Alexandrescu, is always an authoritative source.

Among the general themes you'll encounter; design patterns. The bottom line, that's probably the bulls' eye of the answer to your inquiry, but by no means the end.

If you're not familiar with boost, you will want to become familiar with it, even if you only select portions for use. Pick up an introductory text if online resources aren't adequate for you (there's a "Beyond the STL, an Introduction to boost" text somewhere). Of course, this also assumes you're familiar with the STL, which boost 'extends'.

I don't recall the book's name, but there's a 'standard' text on design patterns - google for design patterns, the wiki entries refer to it.
