C++ Programmer's Guide to the Standard Template Library Book

It used to be that writing programs using templates and other prebuilt resources meant sacrificing application performance. Now, with the Standard Template Library, you have at your disposal a set of ANSI-sanctified reusable C++ components that are as sleek and powerful as those you might -- painstakingly -- code by hand. To get you started with STL, just as major C++ compilers begin incorporating this new library, theres the C++ Programmer's Guide to the Standard Template Library. C++ programming expert Mark Nelson provides authoritative, practical guidance on taking advantage of STL resources, including... A comprehensive introduction to the STL. In-depth explanations of template container classes and algorithms -- including vectors, lists, queues, stacks, and associative arrays. Information on using templates with your C++ compiler to build new classes and functions as theyre needed. And expert advice, illustrations, and real-world examples. Plus, on the book's accompanying bonus disk, you get the complete Hewlett-Packard STL, along with specifications, and time- and money-saving source code and sample programs.Read More
