	Casting in C++ - http://www.acm.org/crossroads/xrds3-1/ovp3-1.html In-depth information on the four new casting operators available in C++. Written for those who know C++ but are using the old C-style casts.
	A Brief Introduction to Rvalue References - http://www.artima.com/cppsource/rvalue.html Rvalue references allow programmers to avoid logically unnecessary copying and to provide perfect forwarding functions. They are primarily meant to aid in the design of higher performance and more robust libraries.
	Never Call Virtual Functions During Construction or Destruction - http://www.artima.com/cppsource/nevercall.html Explains why you should never call virtual functions during construction and destruction of your objects. (Scott Meyers)
	The const Qualifier - http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/cpp/const.qualifier.html Explains the use of the const qualifier on small code snippets. (by Carlo Wood)
	On the Tension Between Object-Oriented and Generic Programming in C++ - http://www.artima.com/cppsource/type_erasure.html Discusses how the use of generic programming in C++ can lead to conflicts with object-oriented design principles. Also demonstrates how a technique known as type erasure can often be used to resolve theseconflicts. An in-depth example is presented: any_iterator, a type-safe,heterogeneous C++ iterator.

	Type Traits Proposal - http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2002/n1345.html A proposal to add Type Traits to the C++ Standard Library.
	Built-in Type Safety? - http://www.artima.com/cppsource/typesafety.html C++ is a statically typed language but its type system is not bulletproof. This article reveals some all-too-common type glitches and how to fix them. (Thomas Guest)
	C++: Under the Hood - http://www.openrce.org/articles/files/jangrayhood.pdf Explains run-time C++ implementation details such as class layout techniques and the virtual function call mechanism.
	Reference Initializations - http://www.embedded.com/story/OEG20010821S0089 Explains how the rules for initializing references differ from the rules for initializing pointers.
	Passing By Reference-to-const - http://www.embedded.com/story/OEG20010919S0041 Explains why the rules for initializing references make passing by reference-to-const an efficient and attractive alternative to passing by value.

	Pointers to C++ Member Functions - http://linuxquality.sunsite.dk/articles/memberpointers/ Discusses what member function pointers are, shows how to declare and use them, and gives some examples of problems that they solve very well.
	Director of Casting - http://www.kbcafe.com/articles/Director.of.Casting.pdf Presents a set of guidelines for using the new C++-style cast operators.
	Simulating Polymorphic Operators in C++ - http://www.ddj.com/cpp/200001978 Presents three different techniques for making operators polymorphic.
	Ada-style Ranged Types in C++ - http://www.ddj.com/cpp/201001318 Ranged types, common in Ada, allow the programmer to constrain a numerical type to a certain range. This article presents a library that brings these types to C++.
	Associative Chains in C++ - http://www.ddj.com/cpp/184402067 Phillip Bruce gets around some of the limitations of the pointer-to-member with a model of class associations that he calls "Associative Chains."

Overloading and Overloading - http://www.ddj.com/cpp/184406484 Operator overloading may be syntactic sugar, but there are a lot of things that don't taste very good without sugar.
