It's a very didactic book, covering C++11 well. Unfortunately it does not cover C++14 or C++17, but if you are just starting out with C++ I don't think that's an issue -- most shops are still on 11 or older, anyways...

For a very brief introduction:
A Tour of C++, Bjarne Stroustrup https://www.amazon.com/Tour-C-Depth/dp/0321958314/ref=sr_1_1...
I haven't been using C++ for a few years now and I needed a quick refresher. While I wouldn't call C++ Primer quick it covers all the basics really well. Great resource for people new to the language.
Once you learn the fundamentals, read Scott Myers. (effective c++, effective modern c++)
What I like about this book is that it teaches you the new C++ way right from the beginning. Rather than walking you through the history of C, it gets you to the modern practices immediately.
Disclaimer: I have only read the first 10% of the book myself, but so far I like it.
The C++ FAQ is really helpful but doesn't seem to be updated to C++11 http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq/
Fortunately you can refer to Stroustrup's FAQ about C++11 http://www.stroustrup.com/C++11FAQ.html
For reference (like libc manpage, basic usage, which header to include): http://en.cppreference.com/
