The C++ Standard Library

What every professional C++ programmer should know about the C++ standard library.

About the Book

"The C++ Standard Library" provides a detailed overview of the C++ Standard Library, including C++23.

The Goal

The C++ Standard Library aims to provide a concise reference of the C++ standard library in about 350 pages. This book assumes that you are familiar with C++. If so, you will get the most benefit from this book. If C++ is new to you, you should start with a textbook about core C++. Once you have mastered a textbook about the core language, you can make your next big step by reading my book.

This book also has more than 150 running code examples for the code snippets I present. Therefore, you can combine theory with practice and get the most out of it.

Many Thanks

In particular, I thank the English proofreaders of my book: Mahesh Attarde, Rick Audet, Pete Barrow, Michael Ben-David, Dave Burns, Alvaro Fernandez, Juliette Grimm, Marius Grimm, George Haake, Nicola Jaud-Stoll, Clare Macrae, Arne Mertz, Ian Reeve, Jason Turner, Bart Vandewoestyne, Ivan Vergiliev, and Andrzej Warzynski. They translated my Swabian English into English. Without their work, the book wouldn't have been possible.

The C++ Standard Library makes me so clear about the content of the STL, which make me dive into most important parts of the C++ Library. Such as Containers, the usage of the Iterators with Containers, the type of Callable Units, the lookup of Algorithm and so all, Sincerely, all C++ Programmers should treat this book as a reference book. You will benefit a lot. Trust me! At last, I wanna thank the author, thanking his book improves my insight.
