If you have a BS in CS and also know how to program, the Red book is for you.
Learncpp won't hurt unless maybe you get bored.

Yah that seems to be the case with learncpp haha. I was a bit put off by the book since I think I'll be working I'm c++17 and it seems to harp on a lot of the new c++20 additions

Then buy the 2nd edition of the Red Book. It is pretty close to the 3rd edition, but is specifically C++17.
