The Best-Selling C++ ResourceNow Updated for C++11
The C++ standard library provides a set of common classes and interfaces that greatly extend the core C++ language. The library, however, is not self-explanatory. To make full use of its components–and to benefit from their power–you need a resource that does far more than list the classes and their functions.
The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference, Second Edition, describes this library as now incorporated into the new ANSI/ISO C++ language standard (C++11). The book provides comprehensive documentation of each library component, including an introduction to its purpose and design; clearly written explanations of complex concepts; the practical programming details needed for effective use; traps and pitfalls; the exact signature and definition of the most important classes and functions; and numerous examples of working code. The book focuses in particular on the Standard Template Library (STL), examining containers, iterators, function objects, and STL algorithms.
The book covers all the new C++11 library components, including
- Concurrency
- Fractional arithmetic
- Clocks and timers
- Tuples
- New STL containers
- New STL algorithms
- New smart pointers
- New locale facets
- Random numbers and distributions
- Type traits and utilities
- Regular expressions
The book also examines the new C++ programming style and its effect on the standard library, including lambdas, range-based for loops, move semantics, and variadic templates.

Free The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference
The print version of this book would receive the full 5-stars from me, but the e-book version delivered to my Kindle had poorly formatted code and the tables were practically unreadable.
The issue with the code is that the font used was not consistently mono-spaced and there were plethora of syntactically incorrect line-breaks. I had to lower my font size to the lowest possible setting and orient the layout horizontally to make the code less chore-some. The code images themselves were so small (although properly formatted A-style code) that I had to strain my eyes. There was no happy medium here: either deal with impractical formatting or ruin your eyesight on the code images. The tables and inline graphics were abysmally small graphics, much like the code pictures.
If I had to purchase this book again I would definitely have shelled out the extra money for the print version. I am satisfied with the content but not the formatting of the e-book version, and will be looking forward to an update to the e-book version.

The original text was a definitive standard in its own right, providing an elegant and useful reference for the C++ standard library along with helpful introductory and tutorial material. This revised edition improves on the original, adding material for all of the new features introduced in the newly-ratified and published C++11 language standard in both the tutorial and reference sections of the book. The new features are given their own separate coverage in the brief but informative third chapter, but are incorporated into the reference as well.
As to be expected, the typesetting and layout of the book is fantastic, the content is well organized and easy to find. The index, weighing in at nearly 75 pages just by itself, is comprehensive. A bibliography provides dozens of additional references for the thirsty-minded programmer who can't get enough of the C++ language.
I rarely buy hardcover books because of their price, but this book is most certainly a worthy exception to that rule. It will serve any C++ developer well and deserves to be on every programmer's bookshelf.
