Master C, C++, & PHP: Programming Bootcamp for Beginners & Pros

Start your programming journey with a deep dive into the foundations of C. This section explores the essential building blocks of programming, including:

• Variables, Data Types, and Operators: Learn how to store and manipulate data with different types of variables, understand basic arithmetic and logical operations, and write simple expressions.
• Conditionals and Loops: Control the flow of your programs with conditional statements (if, else, switch) and looping structures (for, while, do-while) to create dynamic and responsive code.
• Functions and Scope: Break down complex problems into manageable units using functions, learn about variable scope and how data is accessed within different parts of your program.
• Arrays and Pointers: Store collections of data efficiently using arrays, and gain a deeper understanding of memory management with pointers, allowing you to work directly with memory addresses.
• Strings and Character Arrays: Work with text data using strings and character arrays, learn techniques for manipulating and processing text in your programs.
• Structures and Unions: Organize data into custom structures to represent real-world entities, and explore the concept of unions to store multiple data types in a single location.
• Dynamic Memory Allocation: Learn how to allocate and manage memory dynamically during runtime, allowing your programs to adapt to varying data needs.
• File I/O Operations: Interact with files to read, write, and manipulate data, enabling your programs to store and retrieve information persistently.
• Hands-on Project: Simple Calculator: Apply your knowledge to build a practical calculator program, incorporating your understanding of variables, operators, conditionals, functions, and input/output.

Level up your programming skills with C++, a powerful language that supports object-oriented programming principles. This section delves into:

• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts: Learn the core concepts of OOP, including encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, which help you structure code for reusability, maintainability, and scalability.
• Classes and Objects: Define custom data types (classes) to represent real-world entities, create objects as instances of these classes, and understand how data and behavior are encapsulated within them.
• Constructors and Destructors: Learn how to initialize objects when they are created (constructors) and clean up resources when they are destroyed (destructors).
• Inheritance and Polymorphism: Extend existing classes to create specialized versions, allowing you to reuse code and design flexible systems. Understand how polymorphism enables objects of different types to be treated interchangeably.
• Operator Overloading: Customize how operators work with your classes, enabling you to write more expressive and intuitive code.
• Templates and STL (Standard Template Library): Utilize templates to create generic code that can work with different data types, and explore the powerful Standard Template Library (STL) for efficient data structures and algorithms.
• Exception Handling: Write robust and error-resilient code by handling exceptions gracefully, ensuring your program continues to function smoothly even in the face of unexpected events.

Build dynamic websites and web applications with PHP, a popular server-side scripting language. This section covers:

• Setting Up a Local Server: Learn how to set up a local development environment using XAMPP, MAMP, or WAMP to run and test your PHP code locally.
• Variables, Constants, and Data Types: Work with different data types, assign values to variables, and define constants for storing unchanging values.
• Functions and Arrays: Organize your code into reusable functions, work with arrays to store collections of data, and learn how to manipulate arrays efficiently.
• Form Handling and Data Validation: Process data submitted through forms, sanitize and validate user input to prevent security vulnerabilities, and ensure data integrity.
• Sessions and Cookies: Implement sessions to track user activity across multiple web pages, and use cookies to store small amounts of data on the user's computer for persistent information.
• File Handling and Security: Learn how to read, write, and manipulate files, including image uploads, and explore techniques for securing your PHP code and web applications from potential attacks.
• PHP and AJAX: Combine PHP with AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) to create dynamic web pages that update without requiring a full page reload, enhancing user experience and responsiveness.
• Introduction to MySQL: Learn the basics of MySQL, a popular relational database management system (RDBMS), for storing and managing large amounts of data effectively.
• Connecting PHP with MySQL: Establish a connection between your PHP code and your MySQL database, allowing your web applications to interact with data stored in the database.
• CRUD Operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete): Master CRUD operations, the fundamental operations for interacting with data in a database: creating new records, reading existing data, updating records, and deleting records.
