This is a good intro to modern C++ from Herb Sutter: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/BUILD/BUILD2011/TOOL-835T http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/BUILD/BUILD2011/TOOL-835T It's from MS's Build conference but not specific to any platform or tools. I really enjoyed the video though, especially when he compares an old C-style program to a modern C++ version--very much an aha! moment for me that C++ has evolved into a really nice language.
