standard includes

[Gilbert Peffer]

Since I am not a C++ wizard (at least not of the modern sort), could anybody
give me a pointer to some standard info on the philosophy behind the stuff
in <algorithm>, <functional>, etc.
Cheers, Gilbert

I would advise "The C++ Programming Language from mr.C++ himself:

http://www.research.att.com/~bs/3rd.html

Instead of introducing C++ as a better C, it uses the STL from page 1,
showing how it and its idioms are an actual part of C++.

Before you read C++ book by BS, I suggest reading C++ Primer by S. B.
Lippmann.
