STL Tutorial and Reference Guide by David Musser & Atul Saini STL tutrial and Reference by Josuttis (NOT AVAILABLE in INDIA, so not going to buy) (MY experience: LISP only, @ www.gigamonkeys.com/book) problem: C++ standard Library. HACKER principle: do not reinvent the wheel. always use what was already built. so i am going to follow this principle. i will use what is available in C++ Standard Library & STL. so which book for C++ Standard Library. Musser & Saini's book is specifically for STL which is a only part of Standard Library. what about Standard Library itself. is TC++PL 3/e by stroustrup is good for that (i mean reading it after 1st 2 books i mentioned at the beginning)? or something else. i have already searched the archives & i do not trust reviews of amazon.com. i wasted a lot money by following amazon's reviews. -- arnuld Back to top Mike Wahler Guest Posted: Sun Jun 11, 2006 9:10 am    Post subject: Re: C++ standard library "benben" <benhongh (AT) yahoo (DOT) com.au> wrote in message news:448bca26$0$20605$afc38c87 (AT) news (DOT) optusnet.com.au...

There is the book for it: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321133544/202-1270004-0052655 Regards, Ben Back to top arnuld Guest Posted: Tue Jun 13, 2006 9:10 am    Post subject: Re: C++ standard library my original questional is still lost, so i restate: i will use what is available in C++ Standard Library & STL. so which book for C++ Standard Library? Musser & Saini's book is specifically for STL which is a only part of Standard Library. what about Standard Library itself? Is TC++PL 3/e by Stroustrup is good for that? i mean can i use Stroustrup for learning Standard Library after doing C++ Primer? or do i need to do -- 1st, C++ Primer, 2nd STL tutorial & reference by Musser & Saini -- & then Stroustrup that is only one one thing i need to know. thanks -- arnuld Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         C++Talk.NET Forum Index -> C++ language (comp.lang.c++) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C/C++----------------C LanguageC Language (Moderated)C++ Language (Moderated)C++ language (comp.lang.c++)C++ language, library and standards Non-English C/C++ Newsgroups----------------C++ (German)C++ (French)  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
