Hi, what would be the best way to learn what actually happens with the STL containers? I presume just programming wouldnt be enough. Are there any books specifically aimed at this?

This book is quite good, even if maybe it does not go deep enough in the details as you would like: The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference

The book mentioned by Cedric H is a good option.

The best way to figure out what's happening 'under the bonnet' is to actually look under the hood and find the source code :)
Otherwise just read the documentation. I recommend this site, or this book.

I don’t think so. The libstd source code is a horrible, horrible mess in at least the two most popular implementations (i.e. g++’s and Dinkumware’s). STLPort’s may be more readable, but I doubt it, if only due to the usage of double underscores all over the place to avoid name clashes.

Stephan T. Lavavej is currently doing video lectures about the STL.
