The change occurred when the C++ Standard was adopted in 1998. The
Dummies C++ book was pretty good about 8 years ago, but sadly the new
editions simply don't conform to the Standard, making them pretty much
useless.  The best book you can buy to learn modern C++ is Accelerated
C++ by Koenigs and Moo. The best reference for modern C++ is
Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Langugage (3d Edition or Special
Edition), but I wouldn't try to tackle that until I had made it all
the way through Accelerated C++.  Good luck.
