C++ and STL refresher course [closed]

Question

I know C and C++ quite well. I know in much detail about pointers and well versed with pointer arithmetic and worked on Win32 API and a bit of MFC as well in my university days. In my previous job, I had no chance to look on these matters and worked in some other domain. Now what I want is a crash or refresher course in:

• C++
• STL

I do not want to go through 500+ pages of books because I know C#, Java, Ruby, Python and even x86 Assembly as well. What I want is to cover advanced and dark corners of C++ and intermediate STL.

Can anyone point out good links about it? I know about Google! ;-) But an intelligent human recommendation is something else yet Google has not implemented.

Answer 1

SGI has a pretty nice reference for STL.

Answer 2

As sort of a path to a deeper understanding of the STL you may want to take the time and watch some of the videos at http://www.stepanovpapers.com/. Also "Notes on Programming" http://www.stepanovpapers.com/notes.pdf will also help you understand the "Why" behind the design of the STL.

Answer 3

I'm not quite sure what you mean exactly by advanced C++ and intermediate STL.

The C++ FAQ Lite helped me a lot when I first started with C++.

Answer 4

www.cplusplus.com I like this site a lot
