Very True. A small point for people thinking of getting the book, the Data
Structures is by Aron Tenenbaum and not Andrew Tenenbaum.
Its one of the good books that I have seen till date.
Ofcourse TAoCP is ofcourse *the book*, no doubts about it. ( hopefully
one day I can read all of it and understand, by then rest of the
volumes might release as well )

Seriously, its advice worth noting as Pradeepto is one of the best C++ guys
out there. Only he's extremely modest about it :-)
errrr .... no no, I am very surely not even close to the
good C++ guys, let alone the best C++ guys. Yeah, but thanks to my KDE
involvement, I hang around with them a lot of C++/OOPs folks who are
*best* in their trade, and I just pass on what I hear them say. Those
are the books they keep telling everybody to read if you ask them for
advise and I have seen them follow the rules of the trade. Vihan is
just being too kind, imho.
The point being, people like Scott Meyers ( author of
Effective $(SomeC++Books ) ) are on the standard committees. They
promote Standard C++ in their books. These people are working on the
C++0X, adding up new stuff. Same people working on boost libraries,
many of which are getting standardised in C++0X and have already been
in the first draft, or so I am being told.
Many on this list know that I don't have power for few
hours daily, I can't do much during those times. Offlate, I thought as
well I will try not to be lazy during these times and sleep. So I just
pick up a random "Item" and read it. And I find it "educating". That's
why I suggest(ed) those books.
Pssst ... Vihan, where do you want the Pizza, Panvel or
in the town?
