From Introductory to Advanced C++ - Learning Guidelines
summary
Says a practical learning path: start with language basics, then standard library essentials (containers, iterators, algorithms such as std::vector, std::find, std::sort), then adopt the C++11 way of thinking before adding C++14/17 features. Teaches concrete habits: separate declarations/definitions, pass complex types by const reference, prefer std::unique_ptr (roughly 90% usage), learn move semantics, smart pointers, basic templates, RAII and erase‑remove idiom, then concurrency (std::thread, mutex, futures) and software‑design patterns. Build systems and legacy C are handled separately.
