I need to learn c++ for work - people have strong opinions on
languages I know, and not everyone likes c++ but its a requirment for me.

I really want to develop a good sence of c++ style, I learnt C at the feet of
K&R and then the plan9 sourcecode so I learnt how to write clean elegant code
(I think :-). The problem I am finding is there are many c++ styles and I have
yet to find a clean and elegant one.

anyone sugest a project that I could look at that contains well written code?
failing that is there a book that teaches good style?

I am refering to things like adding a leading m_ to class member variables
(which looks horrid to me but I am willing to learn), and smart locks (mutexs
which unlock on destruct).

Thanks for any suggestions.
