Want to learn C++, not sure where to begin

Hello! I have worked in both film/tv as well as games. I was a vfx artist for 20 years and have transitioned into a tools and pipeline technical artist. I have always been on the more technical side as an artist throughout my career and early schooling.

For context, I am proficient with python, materials, blueprint, etc. I have built tools/art content pipelines for Maya, Houdini, Blender, Substance Designer/Painter, and Unreal with python. I also play with processing from time to time as a side hobby.

I have been wanting to learn c++ to add to my skillset, however I have zero c++ knowledge or experience and am unsure of where to begin. After a bunch of googling I stumbled onto some interesting looking material but I am not so clear on where I should start as an absolute beginner to the language. Any advice or tips on how to dive in and ramp up? Thanks!
