a) Yes, it's not difficult, given the tools we have these days b) If there's any conflict, I prefer to perfect my code's inner beauty. ;P

I like your coding style and follow something almost identical, except * If I have to break the condition in an if clause, I don't indent the next line by a single space, I use a 4-character tab to indent it. * I enclose single-statement if and else blocks with braces. * Since I largely do C#, I don't use Hungarian.

only when the program behaves.... When there are bugs.... out comes the axe. one of my previous bosses and I had many conversations over whether or not Software was "science or art". I don't think this is an "or" situation, nor a 50/50 scenerio. Based on the user's experience he/she will make it more or less art. In her case she was a pure science person, software was rigid, there was only one way to do things. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Would you say readable code is beautiful code? Or can it be readable but rather plain? I guess we have to be careful with the word elegant here as it can apply to the design as well as the syntax.

I dont know. Judge for your selves: switch( pConfig->type ) { case CONF_REQ_IP_ADDRESS: if( (LongEndianSwap(*((PULONG)pConfig->data)) != 0xA0B0C0D) && (LongEndianSwap(*((PULONG)pConfig->data)) != 0xA0B0C0E) ) { pAdapter->ClientIpAddress = *((PULONG)pConfig->data); } pAdapter->confIPaddress = TRUE; break; ... NOTE, this is actually 4 space tabbed and isnt displaying correctly. Nunc est bibendum
Or maybe: while(*p++ = *q++); This statement is false.

I won't say wether or not it's code. But I will say, I quit mocking those who work in HTML they day I had to start learning it. I truly admire those who enjoy working in it. {ICK} Alas I am not one of them. If it were not for .Net I'm afraid I'd by trying to convince the world that the internet is bad and desktop applications are the way of the future. HTML does tend to make my stomach a bit sour though... My eyes get this glaze... My legs go to sleep... My feet start to tingle... I feel the need for a sudden bowel movement... All at the site of HTML in the raw. Makes me quite ill in fact.;P

HTML is a markup language. Not code. :) *Runs off* The elegance of code isn't as important as its neatness and readability. If your code is a tangled mess shaped like the Venus of Milo, congrats mate, real impressive and clever. Now maintain it. ;) I often make the mistake of keeping my code short, sacrificing readability in the process (ie, ifs on one line, even when brackets are involved: if(x) { delete x; x = NULL; } )

I allow scrolling right/left if there is some "meaning" I don't want to cut, but I reduce it. If there's a complex if where similar long things are repeated, seperated by ||s, yes, they'll split lines, but in some cases of long series of "."s I keep it one line Regarding error messages I am crazy, regarding spaces left behind code blocks too. I read my code like a novel or even more, a goodly written rpg rule book. And i want it to look nice, and clear, and avoid the reader from thinking "what did we say that "curP" is??". I also write xml comments before every method, and many variables too. But sometimes, artistically, long names are not sweet. They can help, though, a lot with reading (after all, it's not me who writes them, it's the autocomplete). In extreme cases I had method names with 5 words :P (NEVER abbreviated).
