Topic ^^

I'm looking for a c++11 book thats for intermediate+ programmers.

I found this one on amazon and according to the reviews, it seems to be a good choice.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/0321623215/?tag=stackoverfl08-20

But.. before I go spending money, i thought i'd get a second opinion and see if anyone else has recommendations.

i recommend you sign up for safari books online. i think there's a free trial, and it's only 30$/month anyway. at a minimum you can use that to look over the book for a bit, or browse 10 different books.

Thanks for the recommendation . I just signed up for the trial and Im honestly quiet impressed with their site so far. Gonna look around, see what I can find, and I may just end up paying for it after the trial.

I can't say much about that book (or the author), but here's a list that is thoroughly researched: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list

That said, though, I learned most about C++11 from Going Native / C++Now / BoostCon / Lang.Next / Build / NDC videos. And from reading the standard (well, n3337) for fun, but that's pretty hardcore.

Books are awful at teaching web languages or any type of language for that matter. Use web tutorials / free online videos / etc and apply their logic to your application / etc.

Unless, ofcourse, you're using the book as a reference to look back on to see if something was correct. Then sure, it's fine. But for learning, heck no. If that makes sense.

You like to nitpick a lot and don't read in context huh?

I understand where you're coming from, but it's very opinionated and not much of a helpful recommendation.

Nope, your posts genuinely make me laugh.
