It is 2005 (almost 2006) and it would be interesting to hear people's
opinion and recommendations about the best STL reference or book to
this date.
I agree with Victor B. - Josuttis's The C++ Standard Library is the
best IMHO. A useful supplement - but not a replacement - for it is
Meyer's Effective STL.
Also are there Boost or RT1 books available in hard copy (except for
boost graph library)?
Pete Becker's articles in C/C++ Users Journal (referenced in his post)
are probably your best bet. I have heard good things about Beyond the
C++ Standard Library : An Introduction to Boost, by Bjorn Karlsson,
which was just published a few weeks ago, but I have not had a chance
to read it yet. It believe it includes information on a number of the
Boost libraries that have been adopted into TR1.
Best regards,
