Finite Programming in C++
Finite Programming in C++ first presents an overview of basic program elements and dispels common misconceptions. Then it equips you with vital tools in C++, including the Standard Template Library and C++ string class, while alerting you to the lurking pitfalls and ways to avoid them. Finally it introduces a four-step programming model that has helped the author write programs efficiently and enjoyably. Finite Programming in C++ incorporates occasional jokes and interesting world facts to lighten readers' mood while ensuring proper, detailed coverage of each topic. The blithe tone, occasional jokes and interesting facts, cogent examples, and a wealth of challenging exercises, together make Finite Programming in C++ one of its kind.

Jokes are funny, world facts are refreshing, technical contents are sufficient. It contains many helpful tips that really help me become a more efficient programmer. If you are abeginner/intermediate programmer you will certainly get something out of this book. If you are an expert, move on, though there could still be something in the book that you don't already know about.

Jokes are funny; world facts are enlightening; material covered is reasonable and beneficial to beginning/intermediate programmers. Some points the author brings up not necessarily conform to coding standards, but they have their own merits. If you have only a couple of years of programming experience with C++, this could be a good read for you. If you are an expert, pass this.

Brings up many good points in programming in c++, and some of them are open to debate. Lots of useful examples. I've been programming in C/C++ for a little over a year now and this book does help me program a bit more efficiently with its programming techniques. As a side note, I especially like the world facts at the end of each chapter.
Not bad for someone who hasn't even graduated from college at the time of writing.

Decent work 10/04/2005
Reviewer: A viewer from USA
This book is not a tutorial on C++, nor is it a book on data structures, as the market is full of such work. The main focus of this book is to introduce a four-step programming model that has helped me finished each and every program in a finite amount of time and effort, hence the title "Finite Programming in C++". The book has many well-thought-out programming exercises to illustrate how to use this model to program efficiently. Any programmer will likely, if not definitely, benefit from reading this book. If you are the kind of programmer who has trouble having your programming assignments done on time, this book is a must read. If you never have problems having your programs done and you are concerned more with efficiency issues of a program, then move on. There are plenty of such books on the market. Happy programming~
