Do you know a beginner who'd like to learn C++? Or even just learn how to program... using C++?
Recently, C++ author and trainer Kate Gregory made a new 7-hour course available via Pluralsight. And not just any introductory course, but teaching C++ the way it should be taught... not "C and pointers first."
It's highly-rated, as with all of Kate's courses. Know about it and recommend it to newcomers.
Learn How to Program with C++
Instructor: Kate Gregory
If you've never programmed before, and you think you'd like to learn C++, why not learn it first? This course covers what you need to start writing real applications in C++.

Recently on SO:
Why does C++ not allow multiple types in one auto statement?
The 2011 C++ standard introduced the new keyword
auto, which can be used for defining variables instead of a type, i.e.auto p=make_pair(1,2.5); // pair<int,double> auto i=std::begin(c), end=std::end(c); // decltype(std::begin(c))In the second line,
iandendare of the same type, referred to asauto. The standard does not allowauto i=std::begin(container), e=std::end(container), x=*i;when
xwould be of different type. My question: why does the standard not allow this last line? ...

Life'n'gadget just published a nice overview of the basic C++ compilation model, useful for people who are new to programming in C++.
Compiling and Linking in C++
by Rusty Ocean
From the article:
When you write a C++ program, the next step is to compile the program before running it. The compilation is the process which convert the program written in human readable language like C, C++ etc into a machine code, directly understood by the Central Processing Unit. There are many stages involved in creating a executable file from the source file. The stages include Preprocessing, Compiling and Linking in C++...

Recently on StackOverflow:
C++ 11 auto compile time or runtime?
auto a = 10;When compiler knows
aisint, at compile time or at run-time? If it deduce type at run-time, will it not affect performance?

A little nugget about the free-as-in-no-overhead-ness of unique_ptr and std::move:
No Runtime Overhead
by Bulldozer00
From the article:
Unless I really need shared ownership of a dynamically allocated object, which I haven’t so far, I stick to the slimmer and more performant
std::unique_ptr. ...

The question, rephrased: Does =delete mean "make the compiler skip this function and keep looking," or "make this function unusable and make the caller fix their code" -- and why?
What's the exact semantics of a deleted function in C++11?
struct A { A(); A(const A&); A& operator =(const A&); A(A&&) = delete; A& operator =(A&&) = delete; }; struct B { B(); B(const B&); B& operator =(const B&); }; int main() { A a; a = A(); // error C2280 B b; b = B(); // OK }My compiler is VC++ 2013 RC.
error C2280: 'A &A::operator =(A &&)' : attempting to reference a deleted functionI just wonder why the compiler doesn't try
A& operator =(const A&);whenA& operator =(A&&)is deleted?Is this behavior defined by the C++ standard?
