so far so good
Currently I am on chapter 9.To be honest, this is my own first datastructure c++ book; I have read many books regarding the introduction of data structures....and they had failed to teach me.
I found this book really easy to read and understand, the important thing to remember before reading any c++ data structure book is to be able to convert the pseudocode and algorithm to c++ syntax. The author has made life easier by writing the algorithms for you....and rest we do the job. + the usage of STL libraries...to good to use them when ur doing tedious and manipulating code i.e stack, queue, vectors, list, string..etc.. I also liked the fact he has given a section in templates, which is very important nowadays...most of the programs are templated and we should kn ow how to make them. Every book has problems: so far I have found that his code lacks the declaration of some libraries, while he is using them in the code. Fix: just figure out what library is missing and tadaaaa ur code compiles. Have fun reading.

Best Intro to ANSI C++ and Datastructures with STL so far
I am teaching the second programming / first data structure course in the department of electrical and computer engineering. This book is very good for students who already know how to program in C or C++. My students learn C part of C++ in the first programming course. This book covers object oriented programming part of C++. Then it follows into data structures. It starts with its own definitions of stack and queue and then migrates to the standard template library (STL). Everything is kept on the undergraduate student level. All other STL books I know assume that you are already an expert in programming or at lest for students after two programming courses, and are too difficult for average non-CS students. My only complain is that pointers are introduced very late in the text. Some students complain that there is not enough examples, while others complain that the book is overexplanatory. My solution to the first problem is providing a set of complete compilable examples on the course Web site. I refer the latter group of students to the programming encyclopedia books for more details. Ordinarily I would rate this text as four star only. Since it is the only introductory text that both introduces OOP and covers STL, it gets five stars from me.

good lessons easy to follow
I am an independent software engineer; I got this book to help me in my development of software it is the best book I have on this subject. If I have a problem, this book gives me the information I need to solve the problem. Granted this is not a book for the person who wants Her/His hand held and this book does not spoon-feed you like the HOW TO books but that person who truly wants to learn and is willing to put in a little effort to learn, not much but a little C++ An Introduction To Data Structures is the book for you. If you really want to learn Data Structures and how to correctly use them grab this book and you will learn more then you thought you would. Bomber
