I can second Effective Modern C++: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/effective-modern-c/9781...

The most amazing thing about it is how it manages to be so entertaining to read (the last thing I expected from a C++ textbook and a thing that made getting through it way easier)!

>I'm not sure if there's an even more recent edition that covers C++17 and C++20

Sadly, there is not. Scott for-the-most-part retired in 2015: https://scottmeyers.blogspot.com/2015/12/good-to-go.html

As a fellow passenger on that boat:

The 4th edition of Stroustrup's classic was updated to reflect modern practices. [0]

Scott Meyers, author of Effective C++ also wrote Modern Effective C++. [1]

Lastly for pure online reference, cppreference.com. [2]

Unfortunately it's not terse but Effective Modern C++ by Scott Meyers is a good resource.

Some resources:

The Definitive C++ Book Guide and List : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-b...

I like the breakdown of books by their goals in this FAQ : https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/how-to-learn-cpp

I would say 'C++ Primer 5th Edition' and 'The C++ Programming Language 4th Edition' are good.

And of course, Effective Modern C++, although the other Effective series books from Meyers are a must read.
