Code Good Interface Need Really
The standard library saves programmers from having to reinvent the wheel.

Book Provoking Reading Though
With the increasing importance of standards for system-level objects such as COM and CORBA, it is particularly important that the C++ bindings to those be clean, well documented, and simple to use.
