Sounds very inspiring. Any other good places to start learning about C++ 11/14 for complete beginners with JS and other programming languages? I'm very much interested to create proof-of-concept for high performance SaaS services and play with C++ as it might be useful to build Node.js extension later.

Programming - principles and practice using C++[1] should be appropriate for beginners. It's a long book at 1000+ pages, but it is designed for novices and explains subjects such as why one needs functions, how to handle errors, GUIs, testing, etc. The C++ Programming language (4th ed)[2] is for experienced programmers. A tour of C++ is the short version of the former.[3] [1]: http://www.stroustrup.com/programming.html http://www.stroustrup.com/programming.html [2]: http://www.stroustrup.com/4th.html http://www.stroustrup.com/4th.html [3]: http://www.stroustrup.com/Tour.html http://www.stroustrup.com/Tour.html

    In the language many things changed and you should look a the books which focus on C++11/14 no the old stuff.

    The [1] book is exceptionally good for beginners. He completely rewrote it with C++11 and refocused beginners on some key changes to the language to make it much easier.

I think the best book for complete beginners is "Jumping into C++" by Alex Allain. From there, move on to "C++ Primer Plus" by Stephen Prata.
