UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I am slowly ploughing my way through the list of links to on-line tutorials you provided to newbies. I for one am grateful for such a comprehensive list, so first of all thank you for that.

What i cannot seem to find, is information on C++ libraries:

The two links on libraries in your list are dead

But apart from that, in general, there seems to be some sort of information "gap" when it comes to explaining how to apply using the C++ that you have just learned with the various libraries available on the system.

I mean i hope you can understand what i mean: You learn about operators, variables, while loops, if-thens, for-loops, structs, classes and templates, but then... you need to know about libraries and how to apply them; and as far as i can see there is very little information on how to do that because everyone is far too busy talking about operators, variables, while loops, if-thens etc etc...

I have all these related newbie type questions which i still can't seem to answer:

On the system, where are the libraries?
How can i found out what they are for?
How can i find out how to apply these libraries in my programs?
Are there tutorials on the web somewhere that covers using STL and the other libraries?
What are the other libraries?

Hopefully thats not too many questions
and hopefully you can help me out

cheers
