The STL (Primer)

by Graham Glass

The Standard Template Library (STL) was accepted in July 1994 as the ANSI standard for template containers and algorithms. Unlike other data structure libraries, STL represents a shift in the way that object- oriented software is designed and implemented.

This is how technical books should be written

This book is short and sweet and to the point. Gets you using STL in minutes. All you need to know is what tools are available, what they can be used for, and how to use them. This book does that. If you want verbose explanations, anecdotes, endless repetitions, and witty quotes, buy a textbook.

Compact, useful and easy to read.

I am tired of books which go on for hundreds of pages and end up telling you nothing. This book tells you everything you need to get started then spends the rest of the time giving you a reference you can use when you start working with STL. I found it easy to read and understand. The layout of the pages helps make it easy to find the information you need. The programming examples illustrate the points being made.
