Intel Thread Building Block Resources

Getting started with Intel's Thread Building Blocks (TBB) library can be pretty painless if you know how to go about it. Their pdf resources are great, but I just was not impressed with the lack of complete code examples for beginners. With a complete "hello world!" you can get up and running fast and can actually figure out the rest for yourself from there on.

So, here are some resources for getting started with TBB. I use these and can say for sure that they are very useful.

Note that these resources are targeted towards Visual Studio users. I myself use vs2010.
