For reasons I will spare you, I have two weeks to learn some C++.

For reasons I will spare you, I have two weeks to learn some C++.
I can learn alone just fine, but I need a good source. I don’t think I have time to go through an entire book, and so I need some cliff notes, or possibly specific chapters/specialized resources I need to look up.
I know my Asm/C/C# well, and so anything inherited from C, or any OOP is not needed.
What I do need is some sources on the following subjects(I have a page that specifies what is needed, this is basically it, but I trimmed what I know):

  1. new/delete in C++ (as opposed to C#).
  2. Overloading cin/cout.
  3. Constructor, Destructor and MIL.
  4. Embedded Objects.
  5. References.
  6. Templates.

If you feel some basic C++ concept that is not shared with C/C# is not included on this list, feel free to enter those as well. But the above subjects are the ones I’m supposed to roughly know in two week’s time.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Edit: I want to clarify – I don’t expect to study for two weeks and then go and write Quake.
I need to get to a level where given some code and a while to think about it, I can understand it. nuances like ++X vs X++ don’t matter as much as knowing what the main keywords are, etc.

    I know you said you didn’t want to read a book but “Accelerated C++” is probably what you want. It was actually was used in like a 2 week crash course at Stanford from what I remember to get people up to speed on C++.
