Good Coding Styles

[eluser]bigdaddysheikh[/eluser]
Hey guys,

I am 4 weeks into CI and enjoying the development process. Coding is actually fun now, no more mundane stuff. I am also learning Ruby at the same time to be diverse.

Anyways, my question is not about specific code but rather styles. For example, for the design genre there is a whole concept of proper design elements. CSS use, proper layout etc...

But I find that there is very limited knowledge for programming. Concepts, good practices, theories, ways to tackle a project. Each book goes straight into code.

There has to be articles out there that suggest layouts, good coding practices (other than commenting), logic thought etc...

I am an intermediate php guy, not a guru. But everytime I code in CI, I KNOW there is a better way of doing but I just don't know how.

So I am asking you guys, to share any knowledge on good practices, techniques for either CI or MVC model.


Thanks in advance.
