Very good point Jim. I must get round to reading the C++11 spec from cover to cover, it's not an exciting task but something which every C++ programmer ought to do. In particular I know I'm not familiar enough with the new library additions. Does anyone know of a good book summarising the new bits in C++11, or of such a book to be released in the next six months? A lot of C++ books aren't great in my experience, either badly written or too hand holding. Something to the point like "Modern C++ Design" would be great, but I can't see Andrei targeting C++11 now he has D to think about. I would be happy to learn otherwise though.
