The Certified C++ Programming Developer is a structured 6-week program designed for intermediate learners aiming to strengthen their C++ skills for modern software development. This course covers advanced object-oriented programming, templates, STL, memory management, exception handling, file operations, and multithreading. Students will engage in weekly coding projects and a capstone project that combines all concepts into real-world applications. By the end, learners will be prepared for professional development roles and technical interviews involving C++.

1. Do I need prior C++ knowledge to join this course?
Yes, this course is for intermediate learners. You should already know basic C++ concepts like loops, functions, and simple classes.
2. Which version of C++ will I learn?
This course covers modern C++ concepts up to C++17 (with mentions of C++20 basics where relevant).
3. What tools or software are required?
You’ll need a C++ compiler (GCC, Clang, or MSVC) and an IDE or text editor like Visual Studio Code, CLion, or Code::Blocks. Debugging tools like gdb are recommended.
4. Will I receive a certificate?
Yes! Upon successful completion of the course, weekly projects, and the capstone project, you will receive a Certified C++ Programming Developer credential.
5. What kind of projects will I build?
You’ll work on mini-projects each week (like a Bank System, Library Manager, and File-based apps) and a capstone project such as a shopping cart system, multithreaded chat application, or a small game built with OOP & STL.
