All of his books are great - especially the one on STL. Herb Sutter wrote some great C++ books also. On a side note, based on that picture of him sitting at this desk, he is still using iPod V1


Sutter's written that we should use "async" everywhere (even though conventional threads have numerous advantages) and that we should use "auto" everywhere (even to the point of writing "auto x = int{5}" instead of "int x = 5" and "auto foo() -> void" instead of "void foo()"). I'd take his advise with a grain of salt.

Are you sure? I see some color contrast between the center button and the wheel, and no ring of buttons around it.


It's not V1 - that one took a Firewire cable, not USB.
