C++ STD.

[josheir]

I am using C++. I think maybe I might be interested in buying a book on the C++ Standard library. I couldn't find anything recent just : The C++ Standard Library, a tutorial and reference, 2nd Ed (2012) - Nicolai M Josuttis. This is not for the most recent version of C++, it is for 11 not 14.

Is it recommended that I purchase it if I am programming recent C++ (learning 14), or should I just find a website and learn from there?

I know C++ fairly well.

Thank you,
Josheir

Get 'The C++ Standard Library, a tutorial and reference', 2nd Ed (2012) - Nicolai M Josuttis. It is currently he best book for learning about the standard library.

C++14 is a very small extension (plus bug fixes) to C++11.
C++14 additions to the standard library are just these:

I would like to add that you cannot get an STD from C++. (At least not directly.)

@Duoas they're calling them STIs now, so C++'s std namespace is safe from jokes.

Nothing's ever safe from jokes.

"std" (minuscules) == shorthand for "standard"
"STD" (capitals) == initialism for Sexually Transmitted Disease
