I don't want to argue about this, but I have *exact* examples. The book 
places stuff in the place, where they absolutely don't belong.
For example: templates are first *used* in the 3rd chapter (and from 
then continuously) and described in the 12th...

Trust me, learning C++ in 5 days is no easy task.
I don't have years... and I don't need years.
I think I am already doing well - I understand *all* of the const things 
now, the static stuff, classes, inheritance, overloading (operator and 
function), templates, exceptions, references etc. I'm a fast learner :)

Oh, and about random - reading from page 1 to 400 fast or not fast is 
not random. ;)

So, I think I have a good knowledge of C++ now, so questions are welcome 
- but still expect some from me.

That's what I said, no? ;)

P.S.: BTW, I have TC++PLSE (Special Edition) - and it is not meant for 
programmers of C++ - it is meant for starter C++ programmers.
