Intermediate/Advanced C++

Can someone suggest me some good resources to learn intermediate/advanced c++. I know most of the basic stuff but I would like to get better with it seeing as most of the coding I will be doing next year for school will be C++.


Also, does anyone know where I can find some good doc on the security libraries for c++? I'm starting my security concentration this year so I will probably be working with openSSL and libcrypto, but the doc I have found isn't the greatest out there..

    What have you learned? It's tough to say what's intermediate/advanced.

    Some random topics to google:

    Streams
    Exception Handling
    friend keyword
    templated functions
    templated classes
    inheritence
    STL data types

    Here's a reference site that you might find helpful: http://www.cppreference.com/index.html

    Edit: Also: http://www.cplusplus.com/ (this has tutorials)

    You can find libraries of cryptographic routines (Crypto++), but "security" doesn't come in a library. It's more about how you write your code. Secure Coding in C++ is a good book on the topic of designing C++ code for security. There's a fuckton of similar books.

    Effective C++ is probably a must-read.

    oh I understand that. I've seen "secure" stuff shot to shit because of the crappy coding practices done. I was more thinking along the lines on the libraries etc, like you mentions.
