C++ reference

I am just starting to use C++ for my programs, but I am faced with an initial challenge. As a C programmer, I always have K&R's "the C programming language" beside me. This offers a simple, effective and compact reference for ANSI C. For C++, all the books seem voluminous, and don't explain the class stuctures and functions in simple ways. They often contain way more details than I need. Is anyone aware of a website that can be used for a standard C++ reference? ( I am thinking something like java.sun for java)

276 pages.

For programmers with some experience already.

STL (Standard Template Library) reference. Not a C++-language reference, but really useful as soon as you know the basis of C++.
STL contains many tools, such as queues, sets, hashmaps, and so more. Imho, it only misses one thing : arbitrary precision arithmetic. Nevertheless, pretty damn useful :)

But you should buy the great book of Bjarne Stroustrup

There are lots of reference book and website you can find.But every book is difficult to collect , so you can find site using seach engine.I am also benefited using this.And similarly I face many project,reference on C/C++ in the site.

So it's totally ups to you.
