Note that almost half of the pages of this book are source code for the PARODY system.

5.0 out of 5 stars C++ Database Developmnt, March 26, 2001
This review is from: C++ Database Development (Paperback)
Many advanced C++ concepts get clearified, and lots of practical coding issues get touched. I really like the simple and straight forward manner of the book. This book is a great help to turn youself from a student to a programmer.
