I would like to buy a book about C++, but something more advanced than the most I see around and around US$ 70-130. With template stuff, and a lot(a really lot) of STL, and kinds of stuff people who claims to knows C++ knows very little.

If Bjarne Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language" 3rd ed. is not enough, I'm afraid you'll have to decide on which aspects of the language you'd like to concentrate. For the topics you mention I'd recommend On templates: Vandevoorde, D., Josuttis, N., "C++ Templates: the complete guide", Addison Wesley. On the STL portion of the standard library: Austern, M. "Generic Programming and the STL: Using and Extending the C++ Standard Template Library", Addison Wesley. I suspect you'll get several answers along the same lines: at least you'll be able to judge the books from the number of votes each gets :-) Cheers, Nicola Musatti [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.

With template stuff, and a lot(a really lot) of STL, and kinds of stuff people who claims to knows Best documentation of standard C++ library I have seen is Josuttis, http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201379260 Best book (and very advanced) about templates is Josuttis & Vandevoorde http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201734842 . Amazing things you can do with templates are described by Alexandrescu http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201704315 For great books about programming practice look for Meyers, Sutter and Dewhurst. The one and the only true reference of C++ language is C++ standard ISO/IEC 14882:2003 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0470846747/ or PDF version http://webstore.ansi.org/ansidocstore/product.asp?sku=INCITS%2FISO%2FIEC+14882%2D2003 however you DO NOT want to learn from it.

Try The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference by Nicolai M. Josuttis I find it a brilliant book. /Jakob [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.
