C++11 Resources.
closed account (z05DSL3A)
Firstly let me apologise, I don’t really know what this thread is going to be about other than the broad title of ‘C++11 Resources’. I’m thinking maybe so sort of focal point for people to share requests or links to ‘good’ information.
So, I have been largely ignoring the path to C++11 standardisation. I’m just finishing up a side-line project for a client and have decided to ‘Relearn C++ to C++11 standards’. I have bought the notes for Scott Meyers’ training course ‘Overview of the New C++ (C++11)’ but this is not entirely satisfactory (due to not taking part in the actual course not the quality of the information) but will serve as a good roadmap .
Does anyone have any information on when any of the ‘big boys’ are going to publish books:
Stroustrup, Lippman, Meyers, Sutter
I believe that Josuttis has got an updated version of “The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference” scheduled for publication in April.
As for compiler, Apple LLVM Compiler 3.0 seems to be doing a good job of some sample code I’ve thrown at it.

We've been writing http://cppreference.com with C++11 as the primary goal. Once it's complete, it will be a good online reference.
As for books, I think C++11 will need more than one book. The changes reach far and wide, even Josuttis won't be able to cover every corner.
The resource I recommend for the part of C++11 that deals with everything concurrent: threads, atomics, and dependency tracking, is "C++ Concurrency in Action", from the guy who designed most of that part of C++11 and implemented it as "just::threads": http://www.stdthread.co.uk/
That book is not published yet, but is preorderable on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1933988770 and has a preview online at http://www.manning.com/williams/

Stroustrup's FAQ: http://www2.research.att.com/~bs/C++0xFAQ.html
Pete Becker's 'The C++ Standard Library Extensions: A Tutorial and Reference'
http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0321412990
Danny Kalev's articles on InformIT; for example:
http://www.informit.com/guides/content.aspx?g=cplusplus&seqNum=556
Anthony William's book on threads and concurrency:
http://www.manning.com/williams/
Dave Abrahams et al on C++Next; for example:
http://cpp-next.com/archive/2009/08/want-speed-pass-by-value/
And of course, n3242 which is almost identical to the FDIS:
