* Use CamelCase for everything.
* Local variables should start out with a lowercase letter.
* Class names are captialized
* Class names are capitalized
* Prefix class member variables with `m_`, e.g. `m_queue`.
* Prefix static member variables with `s_`, e.g. `s_instance`.
* Functions are named in the Qt style, like Java's, without the 'get' prefix.

For Qt containers it is better to use Qt's own `foreach`. For all other containers, the
range-based `for` syntax introduced with C++11 is preferred ([see this blog post][1]).
When reimplementing a virtual method, always add the `override` keyword.
When re-implementing a virtual method, always add the `override` keyword.
Try to keep your code const correct. Declare methods const if they don't mutate the
object, and use const variables. It improves safety, and also makes it easier to

### Design notes
### Design Notes
Calamares is currently split as follows:
* libcalamares - the backend library,
* only depends on QtCore, yaml-cpp, Python and Boost.Python,
* provides a job queue and generic jobs,
* comes with 3 job interfaces: C++, Python and process (the latter is very limited);
* libcalamaresui - the frontend library,
* same dependencies as libcalamares, plus QtWidgets and other Qt modules,
* comes with a module loading system, for different kinds of plugins,
* themeable so branding can be done easily (plugin-based, TBD),
* presents a bunch of pages in a scripted order, enqueues jobs in the backend library;
* calamares - the main executable,
* a thin wrapper around libcalamaresui, starts up and plugs together all the parts.
