Hey Will, This really depends: are you asing about refactoring the code-structure (classes, inheritance, is-a vs. has-a owenership etc) or actual "code" in the sense of stl vectors and refactoring actual "useful" code as I see it :) For basics of C++ std libs etc, I generally refer to these: http://www.learncpp.com http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cmath/pow/ (or whatever function you're looking for) In terms of design and such, I've read a lot of different books, but found it difficult to find really relevant things: most books focus on ATM machine class-structures etc (i know the knowledge applies across the board... but still) There's also some Digital Audio & Java books I've read: in terms of general audio etc its useful: http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Audio-Java-Craig-Lindley/dp/0130876763 There's also the classic audio-programming book: http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Programming-Book-Richard-Boulanger/dp/0262014467 I think with your Yoshimi experience, you're probably familiar the contents of these books, but included here for reference & completeness for others in future :) Hope that helps, -Harry On Mon, Jun 9, 2014 at 10:10 PM, Will Godfrey <willgodfrey(a)musically.me.uk> wrote:

Googling for C++ books gave this as the first result: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-l… Based on my readings and what I've heard from others, that is an excellent list. As for online references, cplusplus.com is generally considered low quality, and contains lots of errors, cppreference.com is a lot better (at least the english version). If you use IRC, there's ##c++ and ##c++-general available on Freenode for discussing stuff with people. Both are active channels, but ##c++ is very strict about what's on topic: only discuss stuff related directly to the standard there :) -Sakari- On Tue, Jun 10, 2014 at 12:10 AM, Will Godfrey <willgodfrey(a)musically.me.uk> wrote:
