The good part is, you can (mostly) still program as if it was c++03, but you can move on from that part by part. Start adding auto, continue to lambdas, start using range for loops. Or you can go on and, whenever you have a question about c++, start googling it as "c++17 <question>" instead of "c++ <question>" to find more modern answers, you might actually like, as some of them are safer to use, e.g., less off-by-one errors, and easier to read. I personally felt overwhelmed from all the changes, but watching some videos I saw syntax I really liked and wanted to use! For the most part it was easy to understand, too. Being able to gradually change (at least in smaller projects) was a really nice experience.
