Professional Oracle Programming

If you are a developer who wants to use Oracle to build effective, robust, and scalable software applications, look no further. Written by a team of leading authorities on the Oracle database, this example-packed book is divided into three main areas: how the Oracle database works, how to use SQL and programming languages to access Oracle, and how to use the features of Oracle effectively in creating your applications.

After an overview of the topics you need to know in order to use the Oracle database effectively, you'll get helpful tips, techniques, code samples, and examples written in Oracle Database 10g. Along the way, you'll learn how to access and manipulate data in the Oracle database, implement logic with various programming techniques, use raw data in a database, and, ultimately, create successful applications.

If you are beginner or intermediate or advance and wishing to learn C++  this book has lots to offer.Considering the fact that there are less good  introductory books in C++,this is really good book to start with The book starts with the basic difference between C and C++ and then dive into the concepts of C++.In the first chapter only you will get very good explanation of Object oriented programming.

Topics covered: Introduction to objects, inheritance, composition, polymorphism, exception handling, analysis and design fundamentals, advantages of C++, transitioning from C, compiling and building programs, writing C++ functions, flow control, C++ operators, data types, casting, debugging tips, pointers to functions, designing reusable C++ classes, conditional compilation and header files, access specifiers, constructors and destructors, function overloading and default arguments, using const and static effectively, inlining, namespaces, references, copy constructors, operator overloading, using new and delete for dynamic objects, virtual functions, abstract classes, introduction to templates, and iterators.

Thinking in C++ Volume 2 by Bruce Eckel

This is a must if you want to do something serious with C++ .If you have read Bruce Eckel  Thinking in ++ Volume 1 you must be familiar with his writing style of breaking complex topics to small and different parts which makes the reader  easy to grasp .

The book picks up where the Volume 1 left us.Volume 1 covered  core C++ concepts like objects,data abstraction,function overloading and default argument and this book covers the rest like IO streams, exceptions, multiple inheritance, and runtime type inference.

The book though is not visually appealing but is mandatory to learn C++ to the core.The book promises  to make your concept crystal clear.My advice is if you want to learn C++ you shouldn't leave this book untouched . It's really very rich in
examples, unusual advanced techniques, and plenty of wisdom.

Subconsious mind and you

Your Life is governed by you only(ya you know that),but here I m taking about the way you can change it according to your dream.
And the answer is SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.

•  Subconscious mind is your inner self only,which people go taking about.It has so immense power in it and that can bring your dream reality(Seriously)
• Whatever you want,tell your subconscious mind about it by saying to your self again and again and it will look for the solutions

• If you are lacking in confidence,you can boost it by just telling your subconscious mind sentences like "i have lot of confidence","I m feeling so confident" .just daily say to your self or whenever you feel low.By saying sentences like that ,your subconscious mind will make you believe that you have confidence

• .By taking to your inner self  you can be rich too.Tell your inner self  again and again that you want to be rich,and your inner self will figure out the way for it.(actually inner self= subconscious mind only)
• In short You will be what you think.So think positive always

 Do a exercise for checking your mind power

 Before sleeping, say to your inner self the time at which you wanna wake up in the morning.
you have to feel it,say it intentionally,and in the morning you will wake up at that time only
