...but Software Engineering had never been thought to be Engineering
:-) (just kidding)

My 2 cents: I use MSDN, that answers to most of the questions
(function names etc) -- that is free and online :-)
Also if you google on "C++ STL reference" there are many-many and even
more hit, for example:

http://www.cppreference.com/wiki/
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/

I would prefer one of these or couple of these instead of a book -- I
can find things faster by searching phrases or slicking on structured
links than reading a paper book, but you might find it the other way
around.
