Data Structures in C++ : Using the Standard Template Library (STL)

Rating:
Summary: No good!
Review: This book did provide some usefull expamples of C++ STL, but overall it is the worst C++ book I have ever read! I only have it because it was the required text for my Data Structures class. The Index is worthless! Many poor explanitions! There are fare better books out there for STL.

Summary: This book needs some work
Review: This book is in dire need of major revisions. The example programs (the list class especially) do not compile without the reader revising the code quite a bit. As a textbook, the start of the book is quite a good one. It is good how the author describes how you can implement data structures using the boiled-down versions of the STL classes. However, this method breaks down soon as the author moves into more complex data structures: trees, sets, etc. The book tends to spend more time dealing with explaining how you can widdle around in STL than to delve into the basis and use of the fundamental data structures. If you are looking for a good reference on how to program using the STL, look elsewhere. Much of the book deals with the author's version of the STL than the (Un-?)Standard Template Library.

Summary: Far too many bugs, information was incomplete
Review: This book was used one semester for a data structures course at my university. It was not used subsequently. There are plenty of better books out there. Buy one of them; don't buy this one.

Summary: This is a worthless book !
Review: We have used this book at our University, but it doesn't provide any answers, actually it gives more bugs than answers ! I advise NOT to buy this book, there are other books out there which are a lot better !
