Summary: Best book I've ever read for C++
Review: I also totally disagree with the person who said,
"This book explains things as if you were retarded."
Auther Malik does an excellent job of explaining the concepts, where other authers do not explain, because of space limitations. He doesn't just give one illustration like many other books would do. He gives several illustrations to help understand the flow of the concepts. He doesn't just repeat himself, he reiterates it from a different angle to help the reader comprehend better. He also provides excellent practical programs at the end of each chapter to help the reader get a feel for the concepts. I highly recomend this book. I will definitely buy other books by D. S. Malik.

Summary: excellent for beginners
Review: I disagree with the reviewer who said that this book is for retards. I am not a retard.
I am a certified developer. But when I needed to create a string as a linked list for a college project, the book that my college had us read was too "this is how you create an architectural plan", but nothing about how to lay bricks. I went thru more than half a dozen books on data structures, and most had this disconnect between much discussion on how to "create an ADT" and how you actually write code. They did not have a single complete example! I am very busy, but the review I read is just unfair, so I decided to spend my time writing this review.
It is clear that the book is written by an excellent educator who understands how people learn. If you ever taught somebody how to do something, you definitely wondered sometimes how many times you have to repeat the same thing... But this is how we learn -- thru repetition. Repetitio est mater studiorum. If you are a beginner, this book is for you.

Review: Mandarin Chinese would be easier to decipher if you were blind-folded and sitting in a pitch-black cave. Like I mentioned in my title, keep it next to your toilet.
