Additional Resources

- Recommended Books

- Online Resources and Communities

- Further Learning Paths (e.g., Advanced C++, Data Structures, Algorithms)

This outline can be tailored according to the level of the learners (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and the duration of the course. Each module should ideally include theoretical explanations, practical examples, coding exercises, and quizzes to reinforce learning.
