    I'd say calling VS2012's C++11 support "terrible" is a bit exaggerated, but it certainly could be better (missing initializer lists is especially annoying for test/toy code). But note that they announced that they will be shipping compiler updates independently of the rest of VS, so I guess we can hope for quite a few C++11 features in VS2012 in the course of 2013.

    At first I thought suggesting it for learning C++11 would be odd, but seeing that you are still stuck in C-With-Classes land... A decade ago I read Koenig/Moo's Accelerated C++. By the time I was actually already doing template meta-programming (I only read it for a review), but it still felt like a revelation. (I used it as a base for teaching C++ ever since.) Coming from C With Classes, the book can show you a whole new language you didn't know you had at your disposal. It's only 250 pages, and you can then quickly advance to something C++11-specific, but IMO it's a worthwhile step. Commented Oct 28, 2012 at 20:39
