STL BOOK

[puzzlecracker]

It is 2005 (almost 2006) and it would be interesting to hear people's
opinion and recommendations about the best STL reference or book to
this date.

Also are there Boost or RT1 books available in hard copy (except for
boost graph library)?

Thanks for all of your opinions.

"The C++ Standard Library" by Nicolai Josuttis. Hands down. And do
not call it 'STL'. It's been "Standard Library" for 7 years now.

Also are there Boost or RT1 books available in hard copy (except for
boost graph library)?

That I don't know. Have you tried looking on the Web? www.google.com.

It's a little too early for TR1 books, but mine will be published in the
spring. In the meantime, see my columns in C/C++ Users Journal.

Anyone else has a suggestion or two?

I agree with Victor B. - Josuttis's The C++ Standard Library is the
best IMHO. A useful supplement - but not a replacement - for it is
Meyer's Effective STL.

Pete Becker's articles in C/C++ Users Journal (referenced in his post)
are probably your best bet. I have heard good things about Beyond the
C++ Standard Library : An Introduction to Boost, by Bjorn Karlsson,
which was just published a few weeks ago, but I have not had a chance
to read it yet. It believe it includes information on a number of the
Boost libraries that have been adopted into TR1.

Best regards,

Tom

I am surpised that someone is actually making money of Boost -
something that hasn't become part of the language, and possibly never
will, that is. Ironically, this book will be (possible already is) a
bigseller!!!!!


I am starting to write The Design and Evolution of Boost
