OK, I am considering of getting into c++ development in coming months (there is no set date). I am vaguely familiar with the language (primarily C), as well as some basics of OO, MI, templates, exceptions, patterns, used STL. And now I am at the point in time where I would like to master the language in depth. And the natural question is whether I should
start with current C++03 or C++0x standard.

Please suggest what the best way to go from a user to guru, given that new standard is almost here, and likely to remain for many years to come.

Thanks

    My recommendation is to start out in the middle. Start with C++03, but check the features and C++0x libs that some compilers are already offering each so often. As of now, C++03 is THE standard (not only formally, but most code you will find will be strictly C++03).

    Now, if you intend on learning go for the best: start quickly with STL basics and jump into Boost libraries right away. Learn templates the whole way, read on metaprogramming. Modern C++03 usage will get you right on track for C++0x.
