Designing Components with the C++ STL: A New Approach to Programming (Revised Edition) Review by anonymous
Grudging Respect for content, but impossible to use
I think that all of the above reviews summarizes. This book was an decent wealth of knowledge on STL.... too bad it was difficult (at best) to use.
If you already know the material in the book like the back of your hand, it's really not worth your money, there are better refrence books out there, and chances are you won't learn too much new.
If you're looking to learn a bit, then you have a choice. Either spend a bit (maybe a lot!) of extra time trying to "translate" the book out of it's unfortunate "halting" gibberish and you may gain a lot (and you may tear your hair out).
Otherwise you should just spend a bit of time looking for a better book - I agree heartily with the reviewer above: If I could, I'd return it.
