Comment Re: I'd add Effective STL (Score 1) 296
I haven't read the STL book mentioned in the parent, but I'd reccommend using Meyers' Effective STL as a compliment. Just like Effective C++ I think it does an excellent job of clearly explaining the "why's" of its subject, leaving the "what's" for a reference book.
I've found Stroustrup's and Meyers' works invaluable at work. I was brought up on C++ during college, but my work was left me dealing with a lot more old C code than I expected. Their explanations of "these are the ugly C workarounds, now this is how C++ can do them cleanly" have really helped me understand what sorts of idioms and practices are being attempted in the old C code.
