Buy a copy of Physically Based Rendering (Pharr and Humphreys). It is a literate program that won an academy award. Make that your "gold standard" for good programming. Literate programs explain "why", not "what". Think of a literate program like a physics textbook. Your code is the equations but your explanations (not comments!) give the reader the reason WHY you wrote the code. See http://axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/litprog.html http://axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/litprog.html for an example of a trivial literate HTML program.
