<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>C++'s Standard Template Library is revolutionary, but learning to use it well has always been a challenge for students. In <i>Effective STL</i>, best-selling author Scott Meyers (<i>Effective C++, More Effective C++</i>) reveals the critical rules of thumb employed by the experts -- the things they almost always do or almost always avoid doing -- to get the most out of the library. This book offers clear, concise, and concrete guidelines to C++ programmers. While other books describe <i>what's in</i> the STL, <i>Effective STL</i> shows the student <i>how to use it</i>. Each of the book's 50 guidelines is backed by Meyers' legendary analysis and incisive examples, so the student will learn not only <i>what</i> to do, but also <i>when</i> to do it - and why.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"This is <i>Effective C++</i> volume three - it's really that good." <br>- Herb Sutter, independent consultant and secretary of the ISO/ANSI C++ standards committee "There are very few books which all C++ programmers <i>must</i> have.
