## What it is
A C++ bootcamp from CMU's 15-445/645 database systems course providing a basic introduction to modern C++ features through readable, compilable example files. It covers references, move semantics, templates, STL containers, smart pointers, and synchronization primitives.

## Use cases
- learn modern C++ before taking a database systems course
- refresh knowledge of C++ move semantics and templates
- understand smart pointers like unique_ptr and shared_ptr
- learn C++ STL synchronization primitives like mutex and condition_variable
- prepare for C++ programming assignments in CMU 15-445
- get a refresher on C++ features that don't exist in C

## When to choose
- you are starting CMU 15-445/645 and need a C++ primer
- you know C but want to learn modern C++ idioms
- you want short, focused, compilable examples of specific C++ concepts

## When to avoid
- you need to learn basic C/C++ syntax from scratch
- you want a comprehensive or exhaustive C++ tutorial
- you need an interactive course with exercises and grading

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: stable
- function: developer-tools
- domain: education, programming-languages, tutorials
- platform: cpp, cross-platform
- tags: cpp, modern-cpp, cmu-15-445, bootcamp, database-course, cmake, move-semantics, templates, smart-pointers, concurrency
