   Unfortunately, the amount of literature available on this topic is   
   rather limited at the moment.   
   Of course there is always the standard itself, but I guess that was not   
   the answer you were aiming for.   
   As far as free resources go, there is cppreference.com, a community wiki   
   trying to build a complete C++11 reference. Naturally for such a   
   project, the reference is still incomplete and prone to errors at this   
   point, but the community seems quite active.   
   Once Visual Studio 11 is released, a reference for the threading library   
   will certainly be made available on MSDN library, but as of this moment   
   they unfortunately don't have anything on the topic.   
      
   If you are looking for a book, there is C++ - Concurrency in Action by   
   Anthony Williams (Manning Publications), which was just released a few   
   weeks ago. In addition to a detailed tutorial, it also contains a   
   complete reference of the new threads library.   
   Another book to look out for is the new eddition of Josuttis' The C++   
   Standard Library, which was updated for C++11 and is to be released in   
   early April.

   Warning Level 4 is a must (/W4). Another useful option is /Za which   
   disables all non-standard language extensions.   
      
   Best regards,
