I started a C++ class at the begining of this year at school. I learned quite a lot from it and the class was kinda fun. But ever since I started teaching myself Java, I have found it intolerable to write anything in C++! I really want to make friends with C++ though. Currently, I see two problems. One, the books my class at school is taught with are pathetic, lame, and generally a bad tool for teaching anything. It seems like the authors didn''t know what they were doing and they introducted a lot of concepts in an illogical and obscure way. I could have done a better job on a C++ text. Anyway, that''s not my main problem. The one thing about C++ I just can''t seem to figure out is.... where do I find nice documentation on C++ libraries and where can I get them? Java has spoiled me with its GIGANTIC(!) standard library all documented online, at the same site, and all documented in the same format (thnx to Javadoc.exe). But where can I learn about the C++ STL, IO, Graphics, Networking, Windows.... basically any of the common libraries? None of the books I''ve seen ever mention anything about libraries past "how to #include them" and "how to make your own". Where do I get documentation on these though? Any help = thnx.

YOu could try www.cplusplus.com, for some basic STL and MSDN for windows but youll have too get yourself a few books...
