Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com
This book successfully balances the introduction of object-oriented concepts with data structures in C++. KEN TOPICS: Provides interfaces for the principal example classes, which are compliant with the ANSI/ISO C++ Standard Library classes. Thorough coverage of the role of the const keyword in the C++ Standard Library. Covers C++ features such as namespaces, static member constants, type name keyword, and inheritance. Thorough review of C++ syntax and OOP concepts, making book accessible for programmers at various levels. The book also gives readers a firm grasp of key concepts and allows programmers experienced in another language to adjust easily. A solid foundation in building and using abstract data types is also provided, along with an assortment of advanced topics such as B-trees for project building and graphs. This book is designed for novice programmers who have learned the concepts of objects and classes and want to move on to the data structures topics of recursion and data abstraction.
Readable but horrible
| Customer Rating: | Our teacher assigned this text because we all had such a good experience with Savitch's "Problem Solving with C++". This book is however quite horrible. The text goes on and on and on and on! If you only needed a page or two of concise reading to get an idea, this book will make sure that you read through eight pages of unnecessary garbage to get there. Our teacher would assign the chapters as reading, and I would try staying up to 3AM the night before trying to read the very long chapters, and it is ridiculous!
Our teacher even turned on it later. The book breaks rules for good coding in its examples that our teacher had to explicitly point out (and she did take off for those errors in our own programs). I think there is only supposed to be "one entry, one exit" and no breaking out of a program, and the book has other errors too.

Excellent Service
| Customer Rating: | | I'm thrilled by your committment to your customer. I will always buy from you. You promissed to deliver and you did even before the time. That is excellent. |
It has a good professional approach,
| Customer Rating: | This book is great for programmers familiar with the C++ code. There is no need to know anything fancy to start this book, but it isn't a book you would start if your completely new to programming.

More "Workbook" than "Textbook"
| Customer Rating: | It's a thick book, with lots of figures, and with very readable prose. If you intend to read it cover to cover, working the examples as you go, you'll get a decent introduction to both C++ and to data structures. Unfortuntantly, you won't get a really good introduction to either.
As a reference text when working on assignments or projects unconnected to the book it feels especially poor. It's easily readable prose comes at the expense of brevity, and dipping into it to refresh an idea or approach means wading into a peat bog of example code and implementation specific advice.
I've read only one other C++ data structures book, but I'd certainly recommend it ("Data Structures and Algorithms in C++" by Adam Drozdek) over this one. |
The most thorough and intelligent introduction to C++ ever
| Customer Rating: | This book is in my opinion the "bible" of C++ programming books. It is well-structured, precise and provides examples of how to implement commonly encountered algorithms and data structures such as equation evaluation, linked lists and recursive algorithms.
Combined with the source codes on the accompaning website, it is a invaluable source on C++ programming. |
