C++11 / C++0x Documentation

You want to improve your “old” C++ code base by allowing new features or bug fixes to be enhanced with C++11? The questions you will face on the way are manifold. First, what exactly allows me C++11 to do? Where is some documentation? What is the purpose of those features. Compared to languages like Ruby or Python the C++ standard library and language itself is not too well documented online.

As a preparation for a lecture I’m holding in the next semester I was compiling a list of links to C++11 / C++0x documentation sites and as some kind of personal archive I will post them here:

General C++11 / C++0x FAQ
