Hah... "novice... with some 5-10 years of experience". Actually you're not too off the mark. And in any case, with c++11, pretty much everyone who's not been following the c++0x/c++1x process assiduously, counts as a novice.
Although having over 7 years experience as a c++ programmer, since I'm not using it so much now I haven't managed to keep up so much with the changes in c++11 and feel a bit noviced overnight.
Still, move constructors are pretty handy so that's one change I use whenever I can.
