I would like to learn more about C++0x. What are some good references and resources? Has anyone written a good book on the subject yet?

A:
- ISO C++ committee
- Bjarne Stroustrup
- Especially his C++0x FAQ
- The Design of C++0x (pdf) from C/C++ Users Journal, May 2005
- Wikipedia's C++0x article
- G++'s experimental support for C++0x with the -std=c++0x switch
- SO's [c++0x] tag

You have two identical links in the line "Bjarne Stroustrup's web site. (See also his article in C++ User's Journal)". Otherwise your reply is better than the one I have provided (more informative) and I will by voting it up once you fix this.

A:
Herb Sutter's blog, He posts new developments in C++0x and links to detailed references
Bjarne Stroustrup's Website
Both are ISO-C++ standards committee members. Herb Sutter will posts an update on each meeting that he attends.

Here are two videos on the subject. They are a bit old, but still very relevant: New Features in the Next C++ Standard ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAG5txfYnW4 ) and Advanced Topics in Programming Languages Series: C++ Threads

The informit articles are nice for an overview. But keep in mind that most of them are dated (for example, the rvalue reference article doesn't reflect the rule change from almost 2 years ago) and that the author is known to have written at least one bad C++ book where he demonstrates that he doesn't always know what he's talking about (see accu.org book reviews). For an accurate view of rvalue references, I can recommend David Abraham's article series: http://cpp-next.com/archive/2009/08/want-speed-pass-by-value/

There is a ton of stuff on this very site - some of the posts include very informative discussion. I would point you to Google but it's going to be more efficient to search in C++0x tagged posts here imo.
Here's a good one to start with, which includes indirection to Stroustrup's own summary. Scott Meyers has presentation materials on the topic here.
Check up on your favourite compiler's support for the new version. Microsoft VC10 support is summarized here. GCC info can be found here.
Official state of the standard for the language is available here. Evolution of the language is in many places tied to ongoing work in Boost. See here for some info on that.
Honestly my preference these days is to look here for 99% of needed info rather than resort to a book.
