In my humble opinion, any C++ developer wants to call him or her self a professional must read his books...all of them!
So, to recap, here are the names of C++ specialists you need to read their books and / or articles they publish:
* Bjarne Stroustrup of course
* Andrei Alexandrescu
* Scott Meyers
* Herb Sutter
* Jason Turner (His YouTube channel is a must; too many goodies in it!)
* Nicolai Josuttis
* John Lakos
If you just want to revise your C++ knowledge and bring it up to date, just read the following repo and you are good to go https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features
