Ask HN: Project based books/courses for C++?

#1
I'm learning C++, and I find that I learn best when concepts are introduced in the context of a larger project. However, it seems most resources are giant references with a few code examples or Unreal Engine projects.

You're almost drowning in project-based resources with JavaScript or Python, but I can't find much in the way of C++ other than game development. Does anyone know of any other project-based courses or books for learning the language? Here are some resources I found:

Emulator, compiler, these are the two I'd recommend. You can definitely find ample tutorials and books on the two topics, but maybe for other languages. You can easily switch to C++.

I did this a few years ago by porting the Writing an interpreter book (go) to C++. It was pretty nice for learning.
