Learning the C++ Standard library - a good idea?
<p>I am a beginner programmer in C++, and I still learning the bases, but I have a simple question about The Standard library and STL in C++, I think this is not from The Core of the language, I mean this library just make programming and portability easier, and that mean if I learned and mastered C++ rules, I can build my own, I mean in general this call experience by practicing.
Example: cout is the standard output function, but if I want to program a GUI software for Windows for example, I will never just look at it!!
My Question:Is that True?and if not, Why?</p>
