Seeking introductory text on the STL

[RGodivala]

Hi, I have for some time (ok, over a decade) had a gaping hole in my C++ knowledge, in that I don't really know much about the STL. I can use basic template classes and functions, but that's about it. Now I need to learn about the STL, and there appears to be a dearth of good introductory books on the subject. I have done a search on the forums, but the links seem to have expired. So, does anyone have any recomendations for good introductions to the STL? Thanks, Richard

There is a useful link in the first answer to the question below this one, and another one here[^].

And why are you telling me this?

List of things wrong with your post:

1. You replied to the wrong person
2. The book you specified barely mentioned the STL…I suspect you meant another book by one of the co-authors. And yes, I have both books, I know what I'm talking about…

Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p CodeProject MVP for 2010 - who'd'a thunk it!

I'm so sorry about that. I am a new guy with passion in codeproject.
