Lesson Plan for Beginner C++ Developers


Prepared by All Saints Tech Community

OVERVIEW & PURPOSE


These Short documentation courses are meant to aid in your understanding of the C++ programming
language and it’s philosophy, together with some projects

EDUCATION STANDARDS
1. The developer must be able to understand the philosophy of the language
2. The developer must be able to use his/her language the right way
3. Developer must be able to create and manage projects professionally

MATERIALS NEEDED
1. Visual Studio code or Gitpod
2. Github account
3. Guru99 C++ Documentation
4. C++ Written Docs

HOW TO USE THIS LESSON PLAN


1. Divide yourselves into multiple groups
2. Following the curriculum and using the links given in materials needed section, discuss the given
component e.g if you want to learn about data types, go to any documentation website and search
for data types.
3. After finishing each section, you will be given code for the section for a specified learning
project. If you can be able to understand the process your group will be given an extra project to
test your knowledge on the section

VERIFICATION
