The "Concurrency Revolution" is coming at us fast (to gulp us) whether you are ready for it or not! Please see a presentation (audio/video) by Hurb Sutter at parc. Our favorite language, C++, is also not far behind in providing standard concurrency support to the language/library. Please see: Threads and memory model for C++. I feel there is exciting time ahead and a lot of really cool stuff to continue this blog for many years to come!
Last year I reviewed the pre-print manuscript of Manning's Functional Programming in C++ written by Ivan Čukić. I really enjoyed reading the book. I enthusiastically support that the book Offers precise, easy-to-understand, and engaging explanations of functional concepts. Who is this book for This book expects a reasonable working knowledge of C++, its modern syntax, and semantics from the readers.

While there are many FP topics that could be discussed in such a book, I like the practicality of the topics selected in this book. Here's the table of contents at a glance. This is a solid coverage of functional programming concepts to get a determined programmer going from zero-to-sixty in a matter of weeks. Others have shared their thoughts on this book as well.
