Fundamentals for C++ Professionals

Program Overview

I’m happy to provide more details about my mentoring program, “Fundamentals for C++ Professionals”.

Level: Beginner

Program Description

My general idea of this is straightforward. I will teach you what you should know about modern C++. Modern C++ includes the core language and the library based on C++17 in 30 stations.

Each week, I publish a new station. To master a station, you have to invest about three hours. Therefore, you can integrate my program into your workday.

Program structure

The mentoring program consists of 30 stations. For each station, you have to invest at least 3 hours/week. Therefore, you can integrate my program into your workday.

30 Stations

Each station consists of theory, practice, and mentoring:

Introduction
Literals
Types: Enumerations, Pointer, References, and Conversions
Types: Type Deduction with auto, and decltype
Values: Initialization, Conversion, const, and constexpr
Move Semantics
Perfect Forwarding
Memory
Functions
Classes: Attributes and Constructors
Classes: Initialization, Destructors, and Member Functions
Classes: default, and delete, Operator Overloading, explicit, Access Rights, Friends, and Structures
Inheritance: Abstract Base Classes, Access Rights, Constructors, Base Class Initializers
Inheritance: Destructor, Virtuality, override, final, and Multiple Inheritance
Templates: Functions and Classes
Templates: Parameters and Arguments
Template Specialization
Type Traits
Smart Pointers
STL: General Ideas (Containers, Algorithms, Iterators, Callables, range-based for-loop)
STL: Common Interface of the Containers
STL: Sequence Containers
STL: Associative Containers
STL: Algorithms
Strings and String Views
Regular Expressions
In- and Output
Threads: Creation, Data Sharing, Mutexes, and Locks
Threads: Thread-Local Data, Thread-Safe Initialization, Condition Variables
Tasks: Futures and Promises

One Station Concept

Each mentoring program consists of 16 to 30 stations you have to master. A station is one week long, and you should invest about three hours/week. Therefore, you can integrate my program into your workday. Each station consists of theory, practice, and mentoring:

Theory

Pure theory: 10 slides (video)
Applied theory: 5 examples (video)
Additional: Posts and Training videos

Practice

Practical exercises (videos)
Sample solutions to the exercises (video)
Active C++ community in moderated forums

Mentoring

Each week: Live Q&A session based on Forum questions
One-to-one mentoring at the end of the mentoring program if requested

The Ideal Mentee

First, you need a basic knowledge of C++, and you want to become a professional C++ developer in eight months. You have to invest at least three hours a week and can, therefore, integrate my program into your workday. In the ideal case, your company supports you with time and money.

Here are a few typical participant profiles I have in mind:

Young professionals who want to master the start of their career
Students who wish to prepare for their first job (interview)
Software developers who want to qualify themselves further professionally
Team leaders who want to bring their team members on the same page

Mentee Membership and Community Membership

When you master your mentoring program, you can extend your Mentee Membership with a Community Membership.
