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, anddecltype - Values: Initialization, Conversion,
const, andconstexpr - Move Semantics
- Perfect Forwarding
- Memory
- Functions
- Classes: Attributes and Constructors
- Classes: Initialization, Destructors, and Member Functions
- Classes:
default, anddelete, 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
Sample Station

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.
Mentee Membership
- Member of a mentoring program
- Includes the Community Membership
Community Membership
- Access to the previous mentoring program
- You cannot participate in the Q&A sessions, but you can watch recorded Q&A sessions
- You become a community member if requested
- Community Membership is €150 (lifetime)
