Data Structures with C++ Using STL (2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The book itself is great and illustrates the core concepts well.
The code examples are grossly out of date (were talking 1990's) and completely ruins the beautiful text by adding confusing, poorly written code examples to reinforce good literature.
If you are buying this to learn data structures as a reference, great.
If you expect usable code examples this is not the book for you.
Highly Microsoft Visual Studio Centric. Not ANSI C++.
My note to the author's / publisher: You need to keep up with the times. This is technology and it moves quickly. Otherwise future-proof your code as much as possible.

This book uses a modern object-oriented approach to data structures, unified around the notion of the Standard Template Library (STL) container classes. The book presents a systematic development of data structures supported by numerous examples and complete programs. The authors separate the applications of a data structure from its implementation. Includes an applied study of interesting and classical algorithms that illustrate the data structures using only simple mathematical concepts (Big-O notation is introduced intuitively); Many additional figures are integrated into the presentation; ADT (Abstract Data Type) for each data structure—immediately used to solve appropriate problems; Early and accessible introduction to templates and iterators; Use of modern C++ constructs in developing data structures and their applications provides enough language detail to sufficiently understand the constructs.
