A lot of books where written before C++ was standardized. So you need to make sure any book you read follows the final ANSI standard.

Namespaces are good. Mostly you can ignore them (using namespace std, but if there is a conflict you can always fall back on explicitly qualifiyng everything. (std::endl).

FYI Depreciated means that an obsolete feature still works (backward compatiblity), but you should stop using it because it will evenutally be removed from future versions of the product.

My style is stupid!
