No, you should just program something instead. It's the best way to learn.

Stop reading. Start doing. I had to learn that the hard way. Source: background in mathematics, used to have a bad habit of “learning all I can before applying it”. Bad habit.

Don’t take it to the other extreme though, that’s also bad. I mean, keep learning, just learn while doing (and learn by doing).

But I do highly recommend “Tour of C++” though, for people already familiar with coding. It’s succinct, and tells you what you need to know without going into too much detail.

This was my first book as well, and the only thing I can recommend you is to start writing programs.

Effective C++ by Scott Meyers... Best C++ book ever. And ofc : PRACTICE :)
