Anyone out there have any online or book-recommendations, for learning STL? I''ve found a couple of sites online; but they''re outdated or too advanced for me. I''m fed up with some wacky problems and headaches induced by trying to deal with dynamically allocated 2-dimensional arrays of LPDIRECTDRAWSURFACEs - and people around me are telling me that I should use vectors and other STL components to eliminate some of these hassles (and associated pitfalls). Any advice, references, or materials would be appreciated - thanks! Take care, --HB

Stroustrup''s "The C++ Programming Language" is a good place to start. FatBrain has it here.

I always go here when I need STL information.

Online books rock.

Try this book:

The C++ Standard Library : A Tutorial and Reference
by Nicolai M. Josuttis
ISBN: 0201379260

Just make sure you get the latest PRINTING (its on the inside cover - most people don''t understand the difference between a printing and an edition). The earlier printings had errors and missing pages!!! Other than that this book is unbelievable!
