How about the exercises in _Accelerated C++_ by Koenig and Moo?

Look at the percentages on the acm problems, the higher the
percentages the easier the problem.

I like the idea behind the acm challenge: it is a fun way to learn how
to program. But the solutions? Horrible - they use C-code such as
printf instead of streams for example. That is NOT the way to write C+
+ code and it is not the way to teach it.

I've participated in the ACM challenge in college (a long time ago!). The
program tend to reward correct, but unmaintainable, coding. One-shot,
throwaway design is the way to win.
Of course, as long as one understands that and doesn't carry it into their
professional career, then a fun time can be had by all!

But even if that is the case, I see no reason why your "write-once"
code could not be C++. As an example, there is no reason to use the
printf family when you have streams (and any good C++ course should
teach streams, not printf - at least not in the beginning).

I want to say, that you can throw away whole C++ stdlib ( and can start with
ugly std::auto_ptr ), but your code will be C++ correct. C++ is not library.
And the overloaded "operator <<" you really need only for templated
functions, when you do not know what kind of data will be outputed at each
instance or in which stream. Else the "printf" is often better.
Some programmers rare use iostreams in practical case (and printf also)
beacause in theirs systems console-like stream output is useless thing in
the world.

C++ is not library.
Learning how to use language without learning good practices of using
the library is like learning to dance without a partner. One should
expect big difficulties in the real world, in a real dance hall.

functions, when you do not know what kind of data will be outputed at

Please show me how you can output a class object using printf. I dare
you.

I am having a lot of problems with DB2 8.3.1 on RH Linux AS2.1.
Installing and running stored procedures is problematic. Stored
procedures I have used for years on V7 on WinNT are now failing
multiple times/day.
Data that exists in the db is not returned with a select *, but is
returned when a where clause with a primary key value is specified.
There are other problems, including the db crashing in the middle of a
simple query.
