Also in case anyone is going to suggest something project-like please something in the direction of HFT/OS/Systems related as opposed to game programming? There are loads of stuff out there for C++ related to game programming. For OP: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-... Also some C++ related YT channels such as TheChernoProject, CppCon etc Following the respective reddit and slack communities is also extremely helpful. Also get your hands dirty with this: https://github.com/vitalets/github-trending-repos or https://github.com/fffaraz/awesome-cpp There is more but this should do. Oh I almost forgot: https://ishansharma.github.io/twitter-mentors/ http://stephaniehurlburt.com/blog/2016/11/14/list-of-enginee... https://twitter.com/sehurlburt/status/889004724669661184 Good Luck! :-)
