"This open-access course is directed at those who are already familiar with C and object-oriented programming" ... but not C++

That's a very, very small target you're aiming at there.

Regardless, it is a very comprehensive review for C++ programmers, and even intermediate ones will probably see new material there.

"This open-access course is directed at those who are already familiar with very old C++ and object-oriented programming" ... but not modern C++

Written this way, the target is bit larger.

Another book tactically missing memory and ownership design for modern c++ apps. I think there is no more important topic for teaching. There are some slides in advanced sections but it's quite ironic one needs to know about it from the start!! Who owns memory? How to pass it? Move? Borrow? How to communicate it for readers? It's like a tribal knowledge.

Every time I touch enterprise C++ codebase it's a freakshow heavily struggling with memory management.

As reference the material could be good, as study it's very questionable.

Do you have any recommendations for books/materials that do include these topics? I've never used c++ professionally, but have been starting to learn it and would appreciate a modern reference on these items.
