same with me, I am a very old c++ coder, learned during 2001-2002. Now I am doing TA at a graduate school, instructing a course on c++. It helped me to learn a lot of new stuffs on c++11.
"C++ Primer", by Lippman is the book that we try to follow.
If 2001-2002 is old, then what is 'used for 7 years starting 1994'?! :)
I will be curious to read the replies here, as a year ago I was considering different languages and environments for a cross-platform project, and ultimately C# (yes, C#) won out over C++. To be fair the requirements for the project meant that runtime performance wasn't so critical, but preventing the developer - myself! - from making mistakes was.
Maybe it is because of my age, but despite having lots of experience with C++ and a mostly pleasurable love-sometimes hate attitude towards it, I couldn't imagine it making first choice for me these days for new projects.
