I guess the subject tells everything :-) any good references (books, journals ...) ?

Its hard to get good, up-to-date accurate references to C++. The following is a list in terms of decreasing hardcore-ness for people who want very serious references to the intimate details of the language. Actually getting the first couple of these references may prove problematic. --The Annotated C++ Reference Manual Margaret Ellis & Bjarne Stroustrup Addison-Wesley 1990 [in pre-release] This manual corresponds to about version 2.1 of the language -- so you're unlikely to find a compiler closely corresponding to it yet. Parts of this manual are about as exciting as reading the obits, only die-hard language lawyers need apply. Also known as the illuminated bible. --The ANSI committee working document The Ellis & Stroustrup text with the annotations stripped out is the committee's starting point -- so presumably there should be some way of getting this document. Also known as the bible. -- C++ Language System Release 2.0 Product Reference Manual Select Code 307-146. Available through AT&T un*x support, I believe. This has been around for a year or two, and thus is presumably what most current compilers most closely correspond to. Also known as the ugly red book. -- A C++ Primer Stanley Lippman Addison-Wesley 1989 ISBN 0-201-16487-6 A very accurate text based on 2.0, Lippman is the most widely available C++ book [at least in Seattle bookstores] and the most commonly recommended. This is the only text I've found that comes close to covering all useful C++ features. A big blue book.
