I've asked this before, but are these books still worth reading?
Effective Modern C+ , published 2015
The C++ Standard Library, published 2012
Effective STL, published 2001
As I finish my “Platform Jump” program, I am looking to start reading some.
Thanks, Josheir
Effective Modern C++ Is a very good book to read for c++. I'd read EffectiveC++ third edition too.
Personally, I read the modern c++ book before the regular Effective C++ book. There are a few dated things in the older book, but still some gems there too that are not covered in Modern c++ (eg virtual inheritance, new overloads).
If you're really new to c++, you may want to start with a different book. I don't have any good recommendations. One I did read was “Accelerated c++” which is for already-programmers learning c++. But that book is very old (it is like c++98 or something) and some of the practices are outdated. Probably better resources out there.
This guy's video series is pretty good
Thank you, I am a beginner, however I enjoyed that one so far, I find it challenging. From time to time I forget important things. I also might look at Advanced C++ FAQs Volumes 1 & 2. It is a much different type of learning, well see if I'm able.

Not a book but a great YouTuber with intermediate/advanced C++ videos/playlists. He doesn't upload anymore so you only get C++ 11, maybe 14.
