Learning CMake was never so easy!

Welcome to the course Master CMake for Cross-Platform C++ Project Building, where you will learn the CMake tool from the beginning. After completing this course, you’ll be able to

Build CMake based projects,

Export your project, and

Link your executable against any CMake/ Non-Cmake based library

Enroll Now and enjoy the 3.5-hours ride to learn the most powerful way of building the C++ projects.

This course is made after extensive research on Stackoverflow, Quora, Reddit, Youtube,and other Q&A websites to handpick the concepts which are difficult to understand for the beginners. The course starts with compiling a simple C++ code; and, over the modules, various functionalities are added as the complexity increases.

The broad outline of the course is as follows:

1. Section 1:

   1. Problems associated with NOT using a build system

   2. Difference betweena build system (Make) and a meta-build system (CMake).

2. Section 2:

   1. Installation of CMake

   2. First executableusing the CMake

3. Section 3:

   1. Managing large projects using sub-directories

4. Section 4:

   1. Variables, Lists, and Strings

   2. Scripting Capabilitiesof CMake

5. Section 5:

   1. Flow Controlcommands (If-else commands and the Loops)

   2. Functions, Scopes, Macros, Modules,and Listfiles.

6. Section 6:

   1. Configuring a project using Cache Variables

   2. Concept of Libraries

   3. Using Ninja Build System with CMake

7. Section 7:

   1. Installation a package that is developed by someone else

   2. Export our package so that someone else can use it

8. Section 8:(Read through Section)

   1. Miscellaneous small concepts, FAQs and tips

9. Section 9:

   1. Problems while installing and using External Libraries

   2. Using External Libraries developed using both CMake and Non-CMake based build systems
