No, I mean in 2014 the advice was not to start with the latest. Every source I found on the topic recommended getting familiar with 8 and then increment my way up to 14.
I think the C++11 edition (whichever it was) of Stroustrup’s book TC++PL suggested using C++11 immediately. That is what I would have suggested. I used C++ by necessity in a few projects before that, but I didn’t start actually somewhat liking it until C++11. Everything before that was ugly legacy code.
