How I spent my 40 USD Amazon voucher
Thursday, July 30th, 2009I got an Amazon voucher yesterday and finally after an hour of consideration recalled that I was planning to buy this book but saved in my cart previously:
Elements of Programming
And so it happened I bought it. STL and meta-programming was (and perhaps still is) one of my favourite libraries and paradigms (correspondingly) and I was really excited when I saw C++-like templates during Search Inside. It is good to see that hardcore C++ books come back after some period of silence. Looking forward to reading and posting a review afterwards. I also see that Bjarne Stroustrup posted a review (the only one on Amazon by this moment and looking at his profile I see that he likes Chinese detective stories (his wish list). After reading another review that mentioned the fact that Stepanov recommends massive An Elementary Text-Book of Algebra by George Chrystal. So I bought 2 volumes of it too from Amazon Canada (the cheapest courier shipment for me, arriving tomorrow).
