I've already started improving my C++ knowledge with www.learncpp.com and Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language (4th Edition)" because my PhD supervisor is into C++ and I've got a few projects with him coming up where I may need to read and write C++ code.

One of the projects will also involve using a supercomputer, so I think I'll have to learn some of the various ways of interacting with that (Slurm, OpenMP, MPI, CUDA, GNU Parallel? I don't really know anything about it yet). I imagine I'll mostly learn about this from dipping into various guides and manuals and playing with examples rather than a proper book or course.
