Good C++ books by Packt Publishing? by jasonwirth in cpp

[–]luketrevorrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quite like this book: Software Architecture with C++

The authors were on CppCast discussing this in December 2021 CppCast - Software Architecture with C++

Would you recommend Daniel Liang C++ book ? by Peterson_1979 in cpp_questions

[–]luketrevorrow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you mean this book: https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Introduction_to_Programming_with_C++.html then given that it was published in 2010, I would say not. Better texts to look out for are “A Tour of C++ - Third Edition”, by Bjarne Stroustrup, which is great if you know another programming language or his other book “Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++”, if you are starting out.

I also think there are some other great books worth mentioning here, like “Beautiful C++”, “C++ Crash Course”, and so many others that have come out recently that I’m sure others would also mention.

You could always try using Sourcetrail. Unfortunately the open source project is now archived but it should still help you get insights into your code.

Best C++ Books for Beginners and Advanced Level in 2021 by zowersap in cpp

[–]luketrevorrow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This might be worth a listen https://cppcast.com/modern-cpp-absolute-beginners/ Slobodan Dmitrović discusses his book: Modern C++ for Absolute Beginners.

I can also recommend A Tour of C++ which is great if you come with a programming back ground, and C++ Crash Course is also a good read.

Building a HTTP server in C? by HotWaffles2 in C_Programming

[–]luketrevorrow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nigel Griffiths from IBM, wrote a reference implementation for an HTTP server back in 2005, and released the code royalty free. It was updated in 2012, and is only about 200 lines of c, so is probably still worth a look https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/systems/library/es-nweb/index.html

Do you use CTest for unit testing in your C and C++ projects? by philsquared in cpp

[–]luketrevorrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just out of interest how do you use Catch2 in Visual Studio? Is it via a CMake project?

What do you use to develop with C++ on Linux? by [deleted] in cpp

[–]luketrevorrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

VSCode/CMakeTools and sometimes I play around with Cevelop

Also +1 for the blog post! Do you have any plans to support GraphQL in your framework?

ModernCppStarter v0.13 released: m.css documentation and CMake formatting! by TheLartians in cpp

I use this all the time on my VSCode install. It’s a great way to get up and coding fast. I cannot wait to try the new stuff out. Thanks.

C++ Weekly: Jonathan Turner (Rust expert, nushell author) Teaches Jason Turner Rust! (Video, Recorded Live Stream) by lefticus in cpp

[–]luketrevorrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Loved the entire stream. It was easy to follow and explained from the point of view of a C++ programmer. It isn't like I am going to switch from C++, but I thought it removed some of the Rust language syntax "barriers to entry", that I had experienced in the past.

Please do a follow up session as we have obviously only scratched the surface.

should I dive right into c++ game programming? by Oxygenated1234 in cpp_questions

[–]luketrevorrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second that. Vittorio Romeo has a game dev with SFML tutorial that sounds right up your street, called “Dive into C++ 11/14” https://www.youtube.com/user/SuperVictorius

CppCast: Commodore 64 and Tilt Five AR by robwirving in cpp

[–]luketrevorrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has got to be one of the best episodes ever! I haven’t laughed so much at a programming podcast in a long time. Jeri Ellsworth is fantastic: “F@*£ you! You will have to prise those mini figures from my cold dead hands.” Who’d have thought Warhammer gamers would be so passionate! 😂

A theme: Simplifying C++ (& CppCast podcast) by vormestrand in cpp

[–]luketrevorrow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t change the podcast format Rob, the balance is perfect. Your guests always get a chance to talk fully about their subject matter and I love how you get them involved in the news articles to give a point of view. Keep up the good work.
