Description:

This course is all about CMake. CMake is an application that helps you structure C/C++ based native projects, generate build commands for the target platform, build your application, pack it into an installer, install it, test it, and it will even help you with managing your dependencies.

In this course, you will learn:

• How to use CMake to structure and compile your C/C++ projects

• How to manage your dependencies

• How to get your project compiled for the web using Emscripten

• How to include unit tests and test your application

• How to customize the build pipeline with your own tools (if you want to do your own custom build steps)

• How to compile other projects that support CMake and even ones that do not

• How to install and package your project

• Bonus snippets include some advanced setups like documentation using Doxygen

In the end, you will have all the knowledge needed to be able to open up a random CMake project and compile it yourself. You will also be able to confidently start and write your own CMake scripts for your projects. This will elevate your programming experience with the low-level C/C++ languages and it will also simplify a lot of the hard concepts related to those languages.
