Ready to build a strong foundation in programming? Join our 5 Days Bootcamp

This bootcamp is designed for absolute beginners and those with basic programming knowledge. Over the course of five days, you will learn the essentials of C++, from the basics of syntax and control flow to the core concepts of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and an introduction to data structures using the Standard Template Library (STL).

By the end of this bootcamp, you will be able to write your own C++ programs and have a solid understanding of concepts like classes, objects, inheritance, and polymorphism.

Dates: July 28th, 2025 to August 1st, 2025

Bootcamp Overview:

This roadmap outlines a 5-day online C++ bootcamp, with 1.5-2 hours of daily sessions, designed for absolute beginners and those with some basic programming knowledge. The primary objective is to enable students to write simple C++ programs and understand Object Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts.

Day 1: Introduction to C++ and Basics

● What is C++? History, applications, and why learn C++.

● Setting up the Environment: Introduction to IDEs (e.g., VS Code with C++ extensions, Code::Blocks, online compilers like Replit).

● First C++ Program: Hello, World! explained (structure, main function, cout, endl, comments).

● Variables and Data Types: int, float, double, char, bool, string.

● Input/Output: Using cin and cout for basic console interaction.

● Operators: Arithmetic, relational, logical, assignment operators.

Day 2: Control Flow and Functions

● Conditional Statements: if, else if, else.

● Switch Statement: Handling multiple choices.

● Loops: for loop, while loop, do-while loop.

● Break and Continue: Controlling loop execution.

● Introduction to Functions: Defining, calling, parameters, return types.

● Function Overloading: Basic concept.

Day 3: Arrays, Pointers, and Memory Management

● Arrays: One-dimensional arrays, declaring, initializing, accessing elements.

● Introduction to Pointers: What are pointers, declaring, dereferencing.

● Pointers and Arrays: Relationship between pointers and arrays.

● Dynamic Memory Allocation (Basic): new and delete operators (brief introduction to avoid memory leaks).

Day 4: Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

● What is OOP? Concepts: Encapsulation, Abstraction, Inheritance, Polymorphism (brief overview).

● Classes and Objects: Defining classes, creating objects.

● Constructors and Destructors: Default and parameterized constructors.

● Access Specifiers: public, private, protected.

● Member Functions and Data Members: Defining and accessing.

Day 5: OOP Concepts Continued & Introduction to Data Structures

● Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on the data within a single unit.

● Inheritance: Creating new classes from existing ones (single inheritance).

● Polymorphism (Basic): Function overloading (revisit), introduction to virtual functions (briefly).

● Introduction to Standard Template Library (STL): Overview of common containers.

● Basic Data Structures (using STL):

○ std::vector: Dynamic arrays.

○ std::list: Doubly linked lists (basic operations).

○ std::stack: LIFO data structure.

○ std::queue: FIFO data structure.
