Can someone recommend some STL books? I have three catagories that I'm interested
in:
1. How-To-Use
2. Reference
3. The design/implementation of STL.
I'm really looking for a book that focuses on 1, but has a bit of 2 and 3 in it.
Thanks.

Hi Peter,
You can get some information about my book "C++ Programmer's Guide to the
Standard Template Library" from my home page. It's published by IDG books,
and should be available from any bookstore that has a good selection of
technical books. There are a couple of other STL books out now as well,
but I'll leave those recommendations to others!

It would probably meet most of your requirements. For (3), you may check out some of the original white papers, which I believe are located at HP's or RPI's web/ftp site. doug [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.

Information on "STL Tutorial and Reference Guide" by David R. Musser and Atul Saini is available at http://www.aw.com/cp/musser-saini.html I have a vested interest in this book, but I think it's in line with what you're looking for. --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.

I have learned about STL from three sources: "The STL Primer," Glass/Schuchert, Prentice Hall "C++ Programmers Guide to the Standard Template Library," Nelson, IDG Books "April 1995 Draft Working Papers," available on www.att.com & www.cygnus.com The STL Primer is a small book, better as a "pocket reference" type book. The Programmers Guide is huge, comprehensive, and includes a lot of useful information on rationales and changes made by the committee. The DWP is in legalese and may be difficult to read but is the most current reference generally available to the public. [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
