It isn't just about strings, however; it teaches basic C++ , with the assumption that the reader knows no C++, but a little about programming. I believe the Lippman and Lajoie(sp?) book on the C++ standard library (can't recall the title) has a chapter on strings too. As far as 'obsolete soon', the C++ standard was finalized in 1998 (and _Accelerated C++_ assumes that standard) and only minor bug fixes have taken place since then. std::string is part of that standard, and it isn't going away or becoming obsolete any time soon. > Alternatively, are there good web resources? I don't know of any. But comp.lang.c++.moderated is a good place to post C++ questions which are not implementation-specific.
