Hello Everyone,
I'm familiar with the "fundamenta ls" of C++, but I've strayed from the
path and have been a Java developer for a number of years now. I'd like
to revisit my roots. A lot seems to have changed since I first learned
C++ (for instance, I've never used boost), so I think it might be good
to get a fresh start.
Are there any good books about (advanced) programming in c++ using
modern tools such as boost? Or should I wait for 0x to be solidified
before trying to reenter the world of C++?
Thanks,
Daniel.

You shouldn't wait. That's first and foremost. I don't know of any
books that deal with C++ in general yet specifically talk about Boost
(since Boost is a collection of third-party components, not all of it
and not yet is standardized). But you should get a book published
recently that talks about C++ and has enough of the Standard Library
description in it. I would probably take Stroustrup's Special Edition
(if you can handle it) or combined "Accelerate d C++" by Koenig and Moo,
"C++ Standard Library" by Josuttis, and "C++ Templates" by Vandevoorde
and Josuttis. That probably covers 95% of what you're likely to do
in/with C++ in the near future.

Thanks for those suggestions. One thing that is important to me in the
"near future" is multi-threaded programming. I already have much of the
concepts solidified from Java concurrency.

I'm an experienced programmer, but new to Javascript.
For OOP: python and C++ backgrounds, among others
I have one book on js - (Javascript Application Cookbook).
I'd welcome further recommendations.
1)Small "recipes"
2)Object models
3)Examples
4)Tutorials appropriate for JS Newbie but 'old' coder.

I am embedding Python with a C++ app and need to provide the Python

I am aware or SWIG, BOOST, SIP. Are there more?
I welcome comments of the pros/cons of each and recommendations on when
it appropriate to select one over the others.

It is 2005 (almost 2006) and it would be interesting to hear people's

Also are there Boost or RT1 books available in hard copy (except for
boost graph library)?
Thanks for all of your opinions.
