effective c++ is a bit out of date but still very good. i read it while learning c++ 'properly' last year and found it very helpful, but it helps to have some knowledge of modern c++ to know what is still relevant. there isn't much overlap with effective modern c++.



I don’t think he’s talking about the old effective C++ book, but rather the “effective modern C++” book as stated in the post.


I think I got the right one.

https://www.amazon.com/Effective-Modern-Specific-Ways-Improv...

Was printed in 2014. The older one which is `effective C++` is printed in 2005.


yeah maybe my message wasn't clear, i was trying to say that you should read both, the old one is still valuable


OH! Ok thanks. I got 3 big books to get through first so will see how I go.

I thought it might be wasted money to get the old one but if its still worth it Ill definitely consider it!


i was trying to say that he should read both


Ah, got it; sorry I misunderstood it.
