I wish my professor would listen, this is the course i took http://www.ecs.syr.edu/faculty/fawcett/handouts/webpages/CSE... . The worst part was that we were supposed to parse C++ code without use of any standard grammar system. even regex

no in that case they would execute him by a firing squad and tweet about it (sick)

As someone who learned C++ few years back let me tell you that professors in Universities actively discourage use of Boost. There is C++0x or which contains hashset and hashtable but even use of it is discouraged. I think C++ standardizatio

Thats due to the fact that C++ is still without a standardized thread library, which works across all platforms. Thus new students who start by C, C++ dont have proper exposure to the concepts of writting multi threaded applications. I gues

I have found Octave to be lacking some aspects, also there is a significant network effect with Matlab, since most of the research groups publish code in Matlab, you gotta have it if you want to compete with them

I know few things such as structs etc. and how you can derive a class from a struct and stuff. but i have never used calloc or malloc (shudder!) and have only relied on new/delete [] for all memory management. Thus its hard for me to unders

thanks for the tips! One interesting use of sizeof i remember in my C++ project was to override new and delete operators where a void pointer is passed and sizeof is used to keep track of how much memory is allocated/deallocated.

I understand how pointers, Iterators etc work, I know several algorithms from binary search to SVD. I also have very good knowledge of IA 32. "learning it in depth" includes learning arcane rules, such as what constitutes undefined behavior
