Can you be specific about what you didn't find useful?
There are many things in C++11 I find very usefull, such as initializer lists for standard containers, lambda expressions, std::thread, the new string conversion functions http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/ , auto keyword, range based for loops ... I could go on and on.
I remember a post you made a while back that you have a lot of unfinished projects because you had problems with them and didn't want to ask help because you were afraid people would think you're stupid.
Honestly you should just make a fake account and ask questions.
Haha BHX being shy??? You must be joking. He is actually a person on here that will freely speak his mind even if it annoys or upsets other people.

I think the word you are looking for is insecure in his programming abilities. I am sure BHX is much better then he believes he is. He just needs to realize his potential and maybe get a partner to help push him and work on projects together.
Maybe try joining fellow members here on some minor projects or something?
