where can I learn about the new C++ standards??
I have a book that uses <iostream.h> and <stdlib.h>
I think it's outdated
Teach yourself C++ in 24 hours SECOND IDITION, by Jesse Liberty.
Is it a big problim for me?
Do I need to throw the book away and get a new one ?

Well, the "new" standards are 5 years old already, and yeah, you're book is outdated, but it should be OK for very basic stuff.
Some modern compilers won't even compile code that uses <iostream.h> -- VC .NET 2003 doesn't even include the old headers or libraries.
Once you learn the basics of how C++ works, you can learn the STL, but you should learn arrays, pointers, loops, classes, objects, polymorphism, etc. before you tackle it.
You can replace all instances of <iostream.h> with <iostream>, all instances of <stdlib.h> with <cstdlib>, and include the line using namespace std; in your programs, and they should compile. Once you know the basics of C++, you can move onto STL, namespaces, and the 1998 standard.
Well not really a tough decision considerring there is much better available for free on the web. Do a google for Bruce eckels site and download his 2 volume work thinking in c++. If you want to spend a few pounds also then consider Accelerated c++ by koenig and moo. Also look at the recommended books at ACCU.Is it a big problim for me?

Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
And the FAQ is here :- http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi
pounds huh ?
Well, we call them Ryials dude, Saudi Arabia
This is the internet, instead you should've said " Money"

"Teach yourself C++ in 24 hours SECOND IDITION, by Jesse Liberty. Is it a big problim for me? Do I need to throw the book away and get a new one ?"
Yes, throw it away: Jesse Liberty is an incompetent author. I can recommend "Ivor Horton's Beginning C++".
Thanks for the link, all I have to do is just print that page and stick it on my computer table so I can get used to it...
I thought there's a HUGE difference! but fortunatly, I can still finish the book I have then proceed to
" More Effective C++ " << you think this is a good book for intermediates ?
please advice.

Meyers is good, but make sure you get a new edition (one published after 1998).
Meyers' "Effective STL" is also good.
