    This website https://www.learncpp.com/, while it may look like other half-baked tutorial websites, is excellent is filled with up to date nuanced information. It covers basically everything you will need. It's extremely high quality.

    Even if you don't follow it step by step sequentially, it's an excellent reference if learning from another resource.

    This + actually working on a small project you want to accomplish is probably the best way to learn.

    I use the Back to Basic videos from CPP con. You can find playlists of these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NReDubvNjRg&list=PLHTh1Inhhw...

    Those are from 2023 but they have others if you search on their youtube page

    The Cherno has a intro to cpp series as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18c3MTX0PK0&list=PLlrATfBNZ9...

    Find a project and work on it. What is your objective?

    You might start with Stroustrup's A Tour Of C++. That will get you most of the concepts and features, and why the concepts are the way they are.
