Title: Lacks depth and scope
Review: This book merely states the obvious. It'll say things like this sort algorithm executes in O(n), but it won't tell you why. Reading O(n) pages like that gets you bored like O(n*n*n*n).The scope is limited to storage containers and algorithms. It doesn't cover smart pointers. It doesn't cover how STL cooperates with other libraries and operating systems. (Which is required for any application.) Many examples are overly simplified and clinically correct.After reading this you won't be able to use STL, you won't be able to explain what a quicksort is and why it's faster on a vector, and you won't know how to create your own templates.I'm truly sorry I spend money on this one.
