I'm always interested in the best way to approach a problem. More often than not, I just don't have the time to sort it all out so I try to keep my mind fresh by reading through other people's solutions. In this case I'm interested in programming style.
In the "real" world grammar is a an agreed upon style for the language that helps us understand other people's writing. In application development style helps us better understand what other people's code does (or was it was supposed to do).
Programming style encompasses naming conventions, structure, naming standards and more. Adhering to style helps others better understand your work. Below are various sources of information I have found on the subject. I hope this set of references is useful to you as well.
