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:
Section 1:
Problems associated with NOT using a build system
Difference between a build system (Make) and a meta-build system (CMake).
Section 2:
Installation of CMake
First executable using the CMake
Section 3:
Managing large projects using sub-directories
Section 4:
Variables, Lists, and Strings
Scripting Capabilities of CMake
Section 5:
Flow Control commands (If-else commands and the Loops)
Functions, Scopes, Macros, Modules, and Listfiles.
Section 6:
Configuring a project using Cache Variables
Concept of Libraries
Using Ninja Build System with CMake
Section 7:
Installation a package that is developed by someone else
Export our package so that someone else can use it
Section 8:(Read through Section)
Miscellaneous small concepts, FAQs and tips
Section 9:
Problems while installing and using External Libraries
Using External Libraries developed using both CMake and Non-CMake based build systems

Robotics, Sensors, Deep Learning, and High Performance Computing are my current research areas. While working on these fronts, I have developed an expertise in C, C++, Python, Bash, and MATLAB programming languages.
I have graduated with a master’s degree in Control and Computing from IIT Bombay, India.
My course at Udemy focusses on the above mentioned programming languages, or my research areas. Since the topics I deal with are sometimes intimidating for the beginners to learn, I follow the step-by step method for explaining why each step needs to be carried out.
Enroll to my courses if want to get to the core of the most recent technical topics.
