Hey all, I've got a little personal project to learn a bit about 
multithreading in C++, and I was wondering if anyone would like to give 
me a few pointers (no pun intended).

What would you recommend as a good tutorial?  Threading seems to be a 
bit in flux, still, since standards have been long in coming (no flames 
please) and so I was wondering from a practical standpoint what you'd 
recommend.

Let's assume a Unix/Linux environment.  I'll tackle Windows later.

I have a recommendation for a Boost tutorial, although the article is 
really old.

There's of course a lot of old pthreads tutorials.  I wonder if pthreads 
has been obviated by now, however.

So I'm also wondering how prevalent c++11 is, in your practical opinion.

What should I tackle first?  Some articles I researched seem to say 
multithreading can't truly (i.e., correctly) be implemented in a 
library.  So is pthreads really relevant any more?

Note especially the second link there.

So where should a newb start?  Suggestions?
