Extended STL, Volume 1 (Paperback)
暫譯: 擴展 STL，第 1 卷（平裝本）

Description:

This book empowers programmers to take the principles and concepts of the STL into new contexts and new forms, thereby addressing a range of programming needs beyond the library's generic components. Appealing to junior and master C++ programmers alike, the book builds on their existing knowledge of, and experience with, the STL, and demonstrates techniques for applying, expanding, and extending it. The book examines three ways the STL can be extended: 1. The application of existing STL concepts to real-world, technology-specific libraries and operating system APIs. This is where the rubber meets the road for practicing programmers. 2. The expansion of existing STL concepts to a wider range of generic components. The book shows, for example, how to provide specialized components needed to increase a program's robustness or efficiency. 3. The extension of existing STL concepts into new and increasingly useful concepts, or the creation of wholly new concepts. The current STL is a valuable tool for programmers; but it's only the beginning. Most of the extended concepts presented in the book are already implemented in the STLSoft libraries, which are included on the CD-ROM.
