Just the Cliff Notes: A C++ Mentorship Adventure
summary
Four months of mentorship turn a GitHub with a lone python script and spaghetti C++ homework into documented code by September 2024, with hands‑on work in cmake, design decisions about libraries versus single‑task projects, and an actual created entire Library that compiles and has docs. A quick review finds missing curly brackets after two days of debugging, and a gentle walkthrough fixes a first merge to main and its merge conflict while teaching versioning and design for reuse.
