- I have learned about STL from three sources:
- "The STL Primer," Glass/Schuchert, Prentice Hall
- "C++ Programmers Guide to the Standard Template Library," Nelson, IDG
- Books
- "April 1995 Draft Working Papers," available on www.att.com &
- www.cygnus.com
-
- The STL Primer is a small book, better as a "pocket reference" type book.
- The Programmers Guide is huge, comprehensive, and includes a lot of useful
- information on rationales and changes made by the committee. The DWP is in
- legalese and may be difficult to read but is the most current reference
- generally available to the public.
