■ C++ Learning Roadmap: From
Beginner to Pro
■ Stage 1: C++ Foundations (Weeks 1–2)
Goal: Understand syntax, control flow, and write basic programs.
Topics: Setup, Hello World, Variables, Operators, I/O, Control Flow, Loops, Functions,
Recursion
Outcomes: Write basic console apps, solve 50+ beginner problems
■ Stage 2: Object-Oriented Programming (Weeks 3–4)
Goal: Learn core OOP concepts and implement reusable programs.
Topics: Classes, Objects, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Encapsulation, Abstraction, Friend
& Static Members
Outcomes: Build structured apps like Student Record System
■ Stage 3: Intermediate C++ (Weeks 5–6)
Goal: Dive into memory, pointers, templates and STL.
Topics: Pointers, Dynamic Memory, File Handling, Templates, Exception Handling, STL
(vector, map, set, etc.)
Outcomes: Create modular code and use STL to solve real problems
■ Stage 4: Advanced & Modern C++ (Weeks 7–9)
Goal: Master Modern C++ (C++11-23) and multithreading.
Topics: Lambda, auto, Smart Pointers, Move Semantics, Threads, Mutex, Condition
Variables, Design Patterns
Outcomes: Write scalable, high-performance modern C++ code
■ Stage 5: Mastery Zone (Week 10+)
Goal: Specialize in CP, System Programming or Interview Prep.
Topics: Choose a track: Competitive Programming, Embedded/OS-level Coding, or
Interview Prep & DSA
Outcomes: Create large-scale projects, crack coding rounds and contribute to
open-source
