This is a pretty basic question that I've had for a bit: Has C++ changed a lot since 2005? By this, I mean that has the language at all undergone syntax changes, or something of that nature? Thanks for your help!

The language has undergone two revisions. The first revision was in mid-2005 and involved only additions to the standard libraries. The second, major revision involves language changes, but this new version is not in general use and most likely will not be for several years, so as a beginner you can pretty much ignore it. Short answer: No.
