For anyone who does C++, you should also be well aware of boost. In fact, you should generally be using boost (unless there are technical limitations why you can't, eg embedded platforms, non standard C++ compilers).
boost is essentially a large template library that makes all kinds of general programming a lot easier. It basically extends the std libray. It is also the testing ground for the next C++ language standard.
The following are worth their weight in gold :-
boost::shared_ptr
boost::bind
boost::function
and lambdas
Being a template library it also means you don't have to link to a library, you just have to include the headers and at compile time its generating all the code directly into your software. So it's dead easy to get started with it.
I mention it because I interview a lot of C++ programmers who have never heard of it.
