    Tutorial for reading source code

    I remembered that I read the article in magazine talking about book. That book teach you how to read the source code, how to understand them.

    Is there any tutorial out there for something like this??? Tutorial for reading c++ source code.......

    To my knowledge, the only tutorial is in book form. It's called "Code Reading" by Diomidis Spinellis.
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    No, I mean I need to learn how to read source code in multiple files, like the files that you are downloading from sourceforge.net.

    I know you can do it by reading from main, then track down from function to function. I mean it must be some smart way to read the source code in multiple files especially if you are downloading files in couples mb size.
