I can confirm that this book is a great starting point, having undertaken a similar project last year. Off the top of my head, the biggest change is move semantics, along with smart pointers. Once you have those concepts down the other pieces are comparatively quick to pick up.

I've always liked C++, but I think it's become a much more enjoyable language to use in the last decade.

Oh, while you're at it, check out the Passkey pattern[0], which is a nice way to avoid overuse of friend classes.
