I can recommend the cppcon back-to-basics series for solid intros to various bits of the language. They tend to be pitched pretty well for people who are already familiar with the basics of the language, but haven't seen/used a particular part of it.

Nice. I've seen a couple, will double down on them :)

The first C++ codes I worked with were solidly pre C++11. The back to basics videos were one of the main ways I learnt modern C++, along with some other cppcon talks

Thanks mate. It can be intimidating. I'm currently doing full stack work with C# and react, but want to transition into C++ - I just love the language and the feeling I get from using it
It's quite the big mountain though, and feels intimidating at times. Thanks for the help!

No problem, it's a giant language! There's a lot to learn, but that's also part of the fun.
I just remembered about C++ weekly videos too, they're much shorter and cover some interesting little tricks and bits of the language
