stroustrup: c++
The ISO C++ Standard : C++ is standardized by ISO (The International Standards Organization) in collaboration with national standards organizations, such as ANSI (The American National Standards Institute), BSI (The British Standards Institute), and DIN (The German national standards organization). The original C++ standard was issued in 1998, a minor revison in 2003, and a major update, C++11, was issued in September 2011. After that, C++14, C++17, and C++20 were delivered according to a new ambitious 3-year schedule. The curent standard, a major revision, was published in 2020: C++20.
My view of what C++17 should be from April 2015. Note that I don't always get what I want and that I'm quite aggressive about the improvement of C++. C++20 is pretty close to that "vision", though.
A Tour of C++ (second edition) : a short book (240 pages) providing an overview of C++17 with a few key facilities from C++20. It is aimed at people who can program, but might have a 1990s view of C++.

An old, but unfortunately not completely irrelevant, net posting answering some unfair criticisms of C++ . I wrote this in 1994. I had hoped that our field would mature so that uninformed flames would become rare; I was naive.

A 1994 lecture: The Design of C++ (also known as "The flying goose talk" What happend was that I was supposed to use a teleprompter, which I hated, so when it broke down a third way into the talk, I could not see the slides or any notes; I was flying blind. The last two thirds of the talk was done without props, completely from memory. When I couldn't think of what to say next, I pulled the string on the goose to gain time). Put up by the Computer History Museum.
