Hmm, I might have to pick up a copy. I have a love/hate relationship with C++, maybe C++ 11 will make me love it again? I wonder if that includes the C++ 0x standard being worked on?

C++ 11 is simply the renamed C++ 0x standard, as I understand. It was taking too long to standardise/get out the door, so they finally renamed it. The problem is, when will common compilers actually get around to implementing the new standard (namely, MSVC++ and GCC).

Thanks for clearing that up, I hadn't been keeping up with the latest developments.

What is the C++ Ox standard? Is it some improvement specifically made for WinRT? Or is it some kind of open standard in C++?

In related news, I'm enjoying (as much as I can with C++) getting back into the language with "Accelerated C++". It has a pretty unique approach to teaching that actually works quite well. You might summarise it as "practicality over fundamentals".
