Here’s a basic structure for a web app in C++ that includes features for job listings, networking, mentorship programs, and events. This will be built using CppCMS, a C++ web framework, along with a simple SQLite database for data storage.
I’ll start with a basic backend structure for handling these features.
Job Networking App
#include <cppcms/application.h>
#include <cppcms/applications_pool.h>
#include <cppcms/service.h>
#include <cppcms/http_response.h>
#include <cppcms/json.h>
#include <iostream>
class JobNetworkingApp : public cppcms::application {
public:
JobNetworkingApp(cppcms::service &srv) : cppcms::application(srv) {}
void main(std::string url) override {
response().out() << “<html><body><h1>Welcome to Job Networking Platform</h1></body></html>”;
}
};
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
try {
cppcms::service srv(argc, argv);
srv.applications_pool().mount(cppcms::applications_factory<JobNetworkingApp>());
srv.run();
} catch (std::exception const& e) {
std::cerr << “Fatal error: “ << e.what() << std::endl;
return 1;
}
return 0;
}

This is a starting point for a C++ web app using CppCMS. It currently serves a simple HTML page.
Next steps:
- Database Integration – Use SQLite or MySQL for job listings, users, mentors, and events.
- API Endpoints – Add RESTful API routes for CRUD operations on jobs, users, mentorships, and events.
- Frontend Integration – Connect with a frontend using React or plain HTML/CSS.
Would you like me to expand on any of these features?
