What are the prominent c++ online publications that an aspiring c++ must read? The Wall Street Journal projection from the financial world to the c++ world? I am less interested in blogs, but more solid, heavyweight, reviewed publications.
It looks to me that boost and templates are the new black, and there are books of course, however I don't see that many articles going on (see #1 above, maybe that's the reason).
What are the prominent c++ mailing lists that the serious c++ programmer must subscribe to.
Definitely a must read, GotW
This is a wrong place to ask this question though.

I'm a C++ programmer who wants to expand his knowledge into SQL language because I'm dealing with QtSQL module and would like to understand it better.
I would like to find a gentle introduction to SQL language for a C/C++ programmer.
Can you suggest some reading or a particular tutorial?
See this question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31982/looking-for-a-good-book-to-learn-sql
the highest rated answer recommends 2 nice books for beginners.
Coming from C++ field doesn't make much difference in this case in my oppinion. Start from basic stuff and you'll be fine!
For a nice web tutorial you can also check this: http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp
COMMENT: You should not ask for recomendations in SO (although judging by your reputation you are aware of the rules). There are already various answers for this question as it is too generic and subjective. Read some books and tutorials and come back with SQL coding questions ;-)

I've been wondering if these lecture notes from an Introduction to C++ course are good material for me to learn the language.
Does this material contain any gross factual errors in it? Will I learn some concepts in a wrong way with them? Will I get any bad practices from it?
The original MIT Open Courseware C++ course was unfortunately of very low quality, full of factual errors. The next one, from the mid-term course a year later, was much improved. And judging from a cursory review of the first PDF you link to, the current stuff is good.
However, as #Muggen remarked, you should better get one of the well known C++ books such as one of the books in the Stack Overflow C++ book list, e.g. Accelerated C++.
A book is much more complete and dependable.

Could you please, can any one tell me the best books/sites/blogs to learn DataStructures and Algorithms as a starting level?
in c++ language.
Thanks in advance.
For learning data structures and algorithms in general I'd recommend The Algorithm Design Manual by Steven Skiena (Google books link).
The definitive book would be Introduction to Algorithms. Try and get a used copy, it's not cheap.
As for sites, the SO tag data-structures has some great stuff in it too. You might want to look at the top questions there.

I've been working on a game 2d ORPG Engine with a friend of mine, however we're having some troubles organizing and structuring the code.
I could use some pointers, guides, tutorials, etc. on how to keep the code flexible, extendible and maintainable.
Thanks for your time, Xeross
One of my preferred books:
C++ Coding Standards by Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu,
I'll just mark this as correct as the subject is too vague, my apologies, thanks for everyone replying though :)

Does anyone know any good resources for learning TTCN-3?
All I've seen (through Google) is either toy demos that does not implement real codecs to a real language (i.e. no test adaptors so that your test cases actually talks to the networ), or the ETSI language references which are dry and not exactly helpful for someone to learn to navigate an existing test system.
Thanks!
Try this book, An Introduction to TTCN-3, http://amzn.com/0470663065
I started with this: http://ttcn-3.net/tutorial.html, there's a complete test case example, explained step by step and its implementation in C#.
Here you have some documentation from the TRex TTCN-3 refactoring and metrics tool
