Michael I'm sorry not to be more prompt in my reply to this.
Some have advised using the STL -- the Standard Template (not 'type') Library. That is sound advice. ANSI C++ Standard Document is the athority, but is expensive and hard to understand unless you are a language lawyer, let alone being hard to use. I like Budd's Data Structures with the STL form Addison Wesley Longman to learn about these libraries. I taught CS 2 using c++ and this book for several years. It works. It is at a fairly low level, that may be a problem if you are looking for a terse presentation. I didn't have a copy here. So... I looked it up. This URL takes you to AWL's computer science and engineering page where this book is described, along with my syllabus I used when we class tested the book http://cseng.aw.com/bookdetail.qry?ISBN=0-201-30879-7&ptype=1616 There is Glass and Schuchert, The STL <primer>, an IDG book, that may help. It is almost telegraphic, as it is an extension of notes from an industrial course they gave . ISBN 0-13-454976-7 Another book is Musser and Sahn, STL Tutorial and Refrence Guide, ISBN 0-01-63398-1 Addison Wesley Longman. This is a deep careful book. Not the place to learn about STL first. Finally, there is the C++ Programmers Guide to the Standard Template Library IDG books, ISBN 1-56884-314-3 This has a VERY PC/Windows bent to it, but it also has a programmer's bent, and is less textbookish than the Budd. If you can stand the loquacious writing, it is pretty good. You mention youwant to port a bit of Java code to C++ under Windows. This may be the place to learn about the STL. I hope this helps.
