Effective Modern CMake: Level Beginner

Are you struggling with CMake? Many developers find its syntax challenging, and finding practical CMake examples can be difficult. This course, "Effective Modern CMake" (Part 1), is designed for both CMake beginners and experienced developers looking to overcome common problems and write robust, multiplatform CMake build files.

After over 10 years of programming and leading CMake workshops, I've created a comprehensive, easy-to-follow course that goes beyond basic tutorials. You'll gain insights into:

• Best practices for writing clean and maintainable CMakeLists.txt files.
• How to avoid common CMake mistakes – those subtle errors that can be hard to track down.
• A clear understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of different CMake solutions.

What sets this training apart? While many resources exist, this course prioritizes practical application. I don't just present theory; I provide real-world guidance and help you navigate the complexities of CMake.

This course minimizes reliance on platform-specific command-line tools, making it ideal for developers on Windows, Linux, or macOS. We'll cover platform differences and provide tailored solutions where necessary.

To help you get started quickly, I've included video tutorials demonstrating how to set up your development environment in popular IDEs like:

• CLion
• Visual Studio
• Qt Creator

(But you can apply these concepts to your preferred IDE!)
