Well this has more than thousand pages. How should work through those without loosing interest fast?

C++ community has bunch of these do-gooders whose only job is to explain other people how c++ works. They are the cheerleaders, they write books, give talks on conferences and travel from company to company helping then unravel the mess c++ has created. They never solve real problems only problems which get created when somebody tries to solve a problem with c++. If you look at their history, they have spend last 25 years doing the same thing.
It's in their best interest too keep c++ as complicated as possible. It's what sells books and gets them invited to do company internal training sessions. Just like lawyers who draft over complex legislation and then get hired as consultants to private industry to deal with that legislation, for them the bureaucracy is what keeps the bread on the table.

So C++ developers are basically the physics professors of the software world?
