Data structures play a key role in any serious development project, determining how the program acquires, stores, updates, and processes its in-memory data. Many of the basic techniques for constructing and governing access to data structures are well-documented, but most are structured programming techniques that do not translate well in an object-oriented environment. "Object-Oriented C++ Data Structures for Real Programmers" corrects this imbalance, teaching experienced C++ and Java developer...
