Review - Absolute c plus plus

I read this book recently as i wanted to refresh some c++ basics and im not sure if i liked it soo much.
Its a good book, examples are good, coding structures and language concepts are very good. I especially liked pointers chapter.
What i was not so found of was recursion chapter and stack managment. I also did not like design patterns chapter nor uml (there was almost none).
It describes well memory data structures like lists, trees etc.
I think its a great book to read if you are in college or you want to read some new stuff (never learned c++ before).
Review - Introduction to Algorithms
Introduction to algorithms is an amazing and very comprehensive guide to programming algorithms, analysis, estimation and data structures.
I read most of it in college but i still keep it on my shelf and have a look from time to time.
Its a classic book and you really should have it if you are serious about development. You will probably never implement most of the algorithms described there but understanding them will make a big difference.
Some of my College Projects
During university years i had an opportunity to work on some cool stuff. Some low level hardcore coding in c and some nice java stuff :- ) Any way its a great memory, thinking of all the sleepless nights and excitement when stuff actually starts to work :- ) if you enjoy any of the ideas let me know.
