More Effective C++ |
Scott Meyers |
Even more rules of thumb than Effective C++. Not as important as the ones in the first book, but still good to know. |

Exceptional C++ |
Herb Sutter |
Presented as a set of puzzles, this has one of the best and thorough discussions of the proper resource management and exception safety in C++ through Resource Acquisition is Initialization (RAII) in addition to in-depth coverage of a variety of other topics including the pimpl idiom, name lookup, good class design, and the C++ memory model. |

More Exceptional C++ |
Herb Sutter |
Covers additional exception safety topics not covered in Exceptional C++, in addition to discussion of effective object-oriented programming in C++ and correct use of the STL. |

Exceptional C++ Style |
Herb Sutter |
Discusses generic programming, optimization, and resource management; this book also has an excellent exposition of how to write modular code in C++ by using non-member functions and the single responsibility principle. |

C++ Coding Standards |
Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu |
“Coding standards” here doesn't mean “how many spaces should I indent my code?” This book contains 101 best practices, idioms, and common pitfalls that can help you to write correct, understandable, and efficient C++ code. |

C++ Templates: The Complete Guide |
David Vandevoorde and Nicolai M. Josuttis |
This is the book about templates as they existed before C++11. It covers everything from the very basics to some of the most advanced template metaprogramming and explains every detail of how templates work (both conceptually and at how they are implemented) and discusses many common pitfalls. Has excellent summaries of the One Definition Rule (ODR) and overload resolution in the appendices. A second edition covering C++11, C++14 and C++17 has been already published. |

C++ 17 - The Complete Guide |
Nicolai M. Josuttis |
This book describes all the new features introduced in the C++17 Standard covering everything from the simple ones like 'Inline Variables', 'constexpr if' all the way up to 'Polymorphic Memory Resources' and 'New and Delete with over aligned Data'. |

C++ 20 - The Complete Guide |
Nicolai M. Josuttis |
This book presents all the new language and library features of C++20. It covers the motivation and context of each new feature with examples and background information. The focus is on how these features impact day-to-day programming, what it means to combine them, and how to benefit from C++20 in practice. (Note that this book was published step-by-step, and the first edition is now complete.) |

C++ in Action |
Bartosz Milewski |
This book explains C++ and its features by building an application from the ground up. |

Functional Programming in C++ |
Ivan Čukić |
This book introduces functional programming techniques to modern C++ (C++11 and later). A very nice read for those who want to apply functional programming paradigms to C++. |
