I can't say anything about this particular book, I don't know.

However, I do know that a *lot* of books about STL, or about C++ in general,
are going to come out any second now (okay, any week now), thanks to the
relatively recent ANSI/ISO standard.  So if this book is out of print right
now, wait a week or two and see if there's a new edition available.

Since Mark Nelson *wrote* the book, I doubt that he will need to wait to
see if there is a new edition!

P.S. I've been going through this book for the last week or so (got a
copy from a library) and it is pretty good.

How's your German? Nicolai Josuttis has Die C++-Standardbibliothek out
already. Look for an English update sometime soon. Also Klaus Kreft and
Angelica Langer should soon have out a book on locale objects, if not
templated iostreams per se. I've got 2-3 years worth of columns on the
subject in C/C++ Users Journal, but no immediate plans to revise The
Draft Standard C++ Library to include the templatization discussed in
these columns.

If you're willing to settle for a reference, as opposed to a tutorial, see
http://www.dinkumware.com. Chase the links to the on-line C++ Library
Reference.

I am in need of knowledge of STL.  Can anyone recommend a good book for STL.
One that is introductory in level, but one that I will not find useless in a
few months....

One is on my desk:
David R. Musser
Atul Saini
"STL Tutorial and Reference Guide
C++ Programming with the Standard Template Library"
Addison-Wesley
ISBN 0-201-63398-1
This book has introduction to STL, example code and reference.

Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language, Third Edition covers ANSI/ISO
C++
Standard, thus STL as well. I recommend this book as  _must_ to any C++
programmer.

I have found, "STL Tutorial and Reference Guide" by David R Musser &
Atul Saini to be very helpful.

If you have not got a copy of "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne
Stroustrup 3rd Edition, you should get a copy.

I first read about STL in "C++ Programmer's Guide to the Standard
Template Library" by Mark Nelson, and liked it quite a lot.  Amazon,
however, reports that this book is out of print.

I'm now reading "The C++ Programming Language, 3rd Ed" by Bjarne
Stroustrup.  If you have a decent background in C++, it shouldn't be
over your head, and if you want to KNOW the language, it is quite
valuable.  I've been reading it cover to cover, but have also used it
as a reference as I work on my current project, and have been able to
find answers to pretty much all of my questions.  But again, it helps
to have a decent background in C++ before picking it up.

Hope this helps,

Dave

As long as we are on the subject, can anyone recommend some good books
on the entire ANSI/ISO C++ not just STL.  Stroustrup's book is very
good, but I would like to have something else, especially something
that explains the new templated stream library.  Not an introductory
book, (I have 10 years experience with C++) but something that assumes
a good working knowledge of C++ and concentrates on the ISO C++?

Thanks

Peter
