C++ Programming Course
Course overview
Course Overview:
Introduction to C++ Programming:
This course provides an in-depth introduction to programming using the C++ languages. Students will learn the foundational principles of programming, including syntax, data types, control structures, functions, and memory management. Through hands-on projects and exercises, students will develop practical programming skills applicable to a wide range of software development tasks.
Objectives:
- Understand the syntax and semantics of the C++ programming languages.
- Develop proficiency in writing, compiling, and debugging C++ programs.
- Apply fundamental programming concepts such as variables, loops, conditionals, functions, and arrays
- Gain knowledge of memory management techniques and pointers in C++.
- Implement object-oriented programming principles in C++.
Prerequisites:
No prior programming experience is required for this course. However, basic computer literacy and familiarity with using a computer are recommended.
Mentor Support:
Learners will have access to an experienced instructor who will provide support through discussion forums, live Q&A sessions, and email to answer questions and provide guidance throughout the course.
Curriculum
8 modulesModule 1: Introduction to C++ Programming

- Multithreading: Introduction to threads, mutexes, and concurrency using the C++ Standard Library (e.g., thread, mutex, atomic)
Module 7: Memory Management & Modern C++
- Dynamic Memory Allocation: new, delete, and managing memory manually
- Memory Leaks: Detection and prevention
- RAII (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization): Managing resources using constructors and destructors
- Modern C++ Features (C++ 11/14/17/20/23)
Module 8: Final Project
- Design and implementation of a larger-scale project using C++
- Applying learned concepts to solve real-world problems
- Presentation and demonstration of the final project
Certification
Course Certification:
Upon successful completion of the course, there will be cumulative test conducted and students who scored above 60% marks will receive a certificate of completion from GeekBase Technology, which can be used to showcase their newly acquired C & C++ programming skills.
Note: Test will be a MCQ pattern and maximum two attempts allowed.
