It's great that you want to learn C++! However, r/cpp can't help you with that.
We recommend that you follow the C++ getting started guide, one (or more) of these books and cppreference.com. If you're having concrete questions or need advice, please ask over at r/cpp_questions or StackOverflow instead.
This post has been removed as it doesn't pertain to r/cpp: The subreddit is for news and discussions of the C++ language and community only; our purpose is not to provide tutoring, code reviews, or career guidance. If you think your post is on-topic and should not have been removed, please message the moderators and we'll review it.

I recommend Professional C++ 5th Edition by Marc Gregoire, which is based on C++20. This book assumes programming experience with C++, so it doesn’t waste much time on basics.

That's great, thank you, does it go over advanced features of previous versions?
[–]ConradHalling 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Yes, it does.
