Modern CMake for C++ Project Builds

Developing C++ projects often involves intricate build processes that can quickly become overwhelming without a robust system. This course guides you through mastering CMake, enabling you to create well-structured, maintainable, and portable C++ build systems from the ground up. You'll learn to manage dependencies, integrate testing, and prepare your applications for distribution. What you'll learn: * Understand core CMake concepts, syntax, and commands for C++ projects * Build modular C++ project structures that are scalable and easy to manage * Manage external dependencies effectively using CMake's `find_package` and modern patterns * Implement robust testing strategies for C++ code with CTest * Configure installation and packaging rules using CPack for seamless distribution * Apply best practices for cross-platform C++ development using CMake * Integrate CMake into common development workflows and IDEs for enhanced productivity Starting with basic CMake syntax and project setup, this course systematically covers structuring multi-target projects, handling dependencies, integrating testing, and preparing projects for distribution. This course is designed for beginner C++ developers who want to learn how to manage their projects effectively using CMake, with no prior CMake experience required.
