The C++ Standard Library
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.

Reader Testimonials
Rick Audet
Senior Engineer, Dolby Laboratories
Arguably the quickest and easiest way to get up to speed on the most important parts of the C++ standard library. Recommended for any modern C++ programmer.
Zeshuang Mi
Postgraduate
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.
Quan Zhuo
Software engineer at Foxconn
The book introduced the new standard library features from C++11 to C++20. With a large number of examples to deepen your understanding. Suitable for C++ enthusiasts to print it and put on the bedside, desk. Concise and comprehensive. Every time I read it, I get someing new.
