Further reading

We have only skimmed the surface of the topics we have presented. Here, we provide links to resources you can use to get more information on the concepts exposed in this chapter, which will be useful throughout the book.

While we have written our own standard library replacement, there are other options if you are starting your own project. We highly recommend looking into https://github.com/electronicarts/EASTL, developed by EA.
