STL book reccomendation
-
After deciding to re-learn C++, and thanks to Hans Dietrich's suggestion to concentrate more on STL, I went and got myself "The C++ Standard Library, a tutorial and reference" by Nicolai M. Josuttis Clickety[^]. I've been using it as a reference point for the last 2 weeks. I'll recommend this book in a second to anyone, especially if they are (re)learning C++. It is simply brilliant. I'm glad that I got the hard copy (it was the only one left of either paperbacks or hard copies). This one is a keeper. Now, can anyone recommend a good MFC reference? :cool:
"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning." - Rick Cook "There is no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance." Ali ibn Abi Talib "Animadvertistine, ubicumque stes, fumum recta in faciem ferri?"

As far as MFC goes, there is no other book that helps you to understand MFC better than MFC Internals by Scot Wingo and George Shepherd. It's a bit dated, from around 1998, but the basic design of MFC hasn't changed that much. This book will make it so you can code MFC without the wizards ;) After reading it, you will be an MFC Guru. Then, you can get some newer books that cover newer versions and you will have a strong basis to understand them much easier. http://www.amazon.com/MFC-Internals-Microsoft-Foundation-Architecture/dp/0201407213[^]
-- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

STL and MFC are completely unrelated. Not a reference (see MSDN for a reference) but an MFC introduction: Jeff Prosise: Programming Windows With MFC[^]

Oh, I know that :) I'm just trying to rebuild my C++ knowledge and expertise, so, after refreshing myself on STL, I'll be diving into MFC.
