    What Hacker News says

      Yes, although Scott Meyer's is now retired and his book series have stopped in C++14.

      Some other books on this front,

      "Beautiful C++: 30 Core Guidelines for Writing Clean, Safe, and Fast Code"

      https://www.amazon.com/-/en/dp/0137647840

      "Embracing Modern C++ Safely"

      https://www.amazon.com/dp/0137380356

      Also with clion and Visual Studio, it is possible to write code while having the static analysers ping back into the core guidelines.

      I second it, and on top of that follow Bjarne's advice regarding static analysis and the C++ Core Guidelines.

      Additionally have a look at,

      "Beautiful C++: 30 Core Guidelines for Writing Clean, Safe, and Fast Code"

      "Embracing Modern C++ Safely"
