Game Engine Architecture and Real-Time Rendering are both fantastic books and highly recommended.

For the C++ side of things some of the Scott Meyers books on "Effective C++" provide a lot of good advice on how to apply C++ to solving problems.

With C++ it's especially important to stick to new material, as older books, especially from the 1990s, pre-date a lot of the huge improvements brought about in C++11/14/17 which have dramatically changed how people write production C++ code.

Hope you're enjoying all that so far, and best of luck on your journey.

Thanks for the recommendations. I will have to take a look. And yea I definitely had to make sure the books I was getting were at least c++11 or hire. I have like three different ones two I use more as a reference. One of them being C++ Programming Language, 4th Edition by Stroustrup, Bjarne. Also, thank you and yea I am defiantly enjoying every bit of it thus far.
