I like the big white book for c++ (the c++ programing launguage by stroustrup). It does however read like a Russian philosophy novel. Basically a great resource to bone up on stuff such as smart pointers and exactly how virtualization works and how the << operator is way different from c and all sorts of stuff like that but it goes into a lot of depth, and oh so dry. It's the reference book at work. As for a book on data structures, the best book i've ever read on it, and there haven't been many to be sure, was a book called "data structures" but i'm not sure thats what you are after. Most likely you will get stuff asked about templates, the operator keyword virtualization the difference between * and & and questions about references. I was reading up on stuff like that when I was interviewing for mid level stuff but the questions that were for senior + were just harder questions of those. Good luck! ~Ben On Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 12:54 PM, Ruben Safir <[hidden email]> wrote: > On Tue, Aug 05, 2008 at 10:15:29AM -0400, Stephen Adler wrote: > > Guys, > > > > I had a phone interview with a wall street recruiting firm.
