    Not for everyone
  

*by K***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2006*

Hi,I had read the reviews and ordered this book. It IS what the reviews say. I purchased the book as I wanted to learn more about C++ and collecting all the recommended books (accu.org). So I was not looking at developing new container or any generic algorithm.Personally, I found this book containing too much of code and manual style writing - which does not make it a normal reading.It will become too heavy going, if you don't understand a lot about STL. Use it as an indepth implementation reference guide only.So if you looking for learning only STL and NOT interested HOW TO DESIGN or understand design of STL then this book is not for you.byeketan

    Excellent book for a highly specialized audience
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2001*

Just a few months ago, I bemoaned the fact that Plauger's _The Draft Standard C++ Library_ had never been updated to the actual standard. I'm happy to report that this book contains an answer to a considerable part of my prayers: It contains an in-depth discussion of the STL, along with a complete, high quality implementation in source code form (Contrary to what the "Topics Covered" section on this page implies, however, the source code is NOT the Hewlett-Packard implementation, but a proprietary derivative which is commercially licensed).It's hard to pin down exactly why, but this book was not quite as pleasurable a read as its predecessors. One of the reasons might be the typography: The use of underlining for emphasis of the actual makes the standards sections of the book unpleasant to read. There might be an issue of the subject: For all its power, there is not all that much interesting algorithmic stuff going on in the STL. Lastly, it seems that C++ template code as such, no matter how brilliantly written and how useful to the library client,  is rather unpleasant  to read-a somewhat sobering insight to a C++ aficionado as myself. As a result, the code that *was* algorithmically interesting was quite hard to understand-I would not recommend this book to somebody trying to learn about red-black trees, for instance.If you buy just one book about the STL, buy Josuttis' _The Standard C++ Library_. If you want additional in-depth insight into the workings of the STL, and are willing to invest the time it takes to study the code, buy this book. I certainly never regretted reading it, and I hope that Plauger will update his implementation of the rest of the C++ library to publish a standard compliant version of the iostream and string libraries sometime in the future.

    Keep it handy.
  

*by J***W on Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2007*

This is an excellent book for those of us who want to know why things where done the way they where; after all, the odds are that the author probably created, or was instrumental in creating, the version of the STL that you are using right now. The only thing that bothered me was what was not covered, such as strings. I have a habit of asking questions in areas that are not well known or are very complicated to explain. Therefore the book loses one point, because it was written by someone who knows the answers I have been seeking and did not include them.
