Where do you live? Can you wait? As soon as I have enough spare time,
I'll walk/drive/fly/swim over, rent a flat in your area, and we can get
together on a regular basis so I can guide you... Or you can simply get
a course in your local college or get a book ("The C++ Standard Library"
by Josuttis is excellent) and study.

Yes I definitely agree, it is Joshhh - the man of STL

I find books by Deitel are good for beginners too, they are used as
textbooks are on library shelves in quite a lot of colleges

That's a formidable task. Fortunately there is a superb book on the
subject, _The C++ Standard Library_ by Nicolai Josutis. If you think
"formidable" is an exaggeration, the book has 800 pages and I don't think
there is any fat there. I found it useful to create a personalized partial
index for the book in a home brew text file on my computer.

You will have to learn to love verylonganddescriptivetypenames. Or at least
learn to copy them faithfully.

You can **reinvent** your wheel again. Learn how to write your own
vector class in your code writing yourself. Study it. Then don't
reinvent wheel anymore. Use STL.

Read a book. The book is excellent. The title name is Objects,
Abstraction, Data Structures and Design using C++. Arthor's name
Elliot B. Koffman and Paul A.T. Wolfgang. ISBN 0-471-46755-3.

I think it *is* an exaggeration. You don't learn *all* of it at once.
If we're talking STL, you learn std::vector, std::map, iterators and
some of the most common algorithms and the ideas behind them.

For the STL part, I really like SGI's documentation even though it's
partially outdated.

Huh? I can't recall any of those in the standard library (neither in
lenght nor lowercasenowhitespace format). I also don't understand the
reference to copying them.
