That's a pretty useless answer. It's easy to use C++, but in a non-idiomatic or C-style way. I think the OP is aware of this problem and is looking for concrete examples of modern C++.
I think reading best practices and most other forms of technical training work best after some experience is gained, even poor experience doing it the wrong way.
It's similar to why university lectures work best if the audience has already done its assigned reading. The people in the audience have better questions in mind while listening, so they can better intuit when a gap is filled in or if some part of the explanation doesn't make sense.
Sure. I gathered that, but until you've done stuff the wrong way the learning isn't going to stick the same. I'm not saying _don't_ use resources, I'm saying do stuff, when it feels wrong read up on it to learn the right modern practice
