+## 1. Why Style?
+You may be wondering ”Why do we need a style guide?” ”Are you trying to give me homework?”
+### 1.1. General Principles
+
+ - Prefer clarity over brevity
+ - Don’t optimize prematurely
+ - Avoid C-style casts
+
+### 1.2. File Formatting
+Source code files should adhere to the following:
+
+ - Encoded in UTF-8
+ - Use tabs for indentation
+ - Use LF for end-of-line sequences
+ - Not have any trailing whitespace (Lines which end in spaces or tabs
+ - Any #include directives should be at the top of the file
+
+## 2. Conventions
+### 2.1 Naming Conventions
+| Item | Writing Convention | Example |
+|--|--|--|
+| Class and Struct Names | Pascal Case | MyCoolExample |
+| Variables and Function Names | Camel Case | myCoolExample |
+| Constants, Enum Values and Preprocessor | Macro Case | MY_COOL_EXAMPLE |
+| Type aliases | Snake Case | my_cool_example_t |
