That's the style I use but this is where it gets more controversial,
with some folks preferring underscores. So:

TwoStageAmplifier
Two_stage_amplifier
Two_Stage_Amplifier

would all be acceptable.
The idea of the initial capital letter is just to signal to
readers that it is a type(class) rather than a function
(all lower case). In a similar way that constants are
usually signalled by being all UPPERCASE


You will also find that classes defined in the standard
library are (nearly?) all lowercase_with_underscores.
(Which is a bad thing IMHO!)
