gui_starter_template VS build-your-own-x

Was checking that as well, can't find it indeed. I would recommend looking into the following: https://github.com/cpp-best-practices/gui_starter_template

gui_starter_template. This is a C++ Best Practices GitHub template for getting up and running with C++ quickly.

Next to language versions, spend time setting up your build system (CMake?) with all bells and whistles. You want unit tests, clang-tidy, include-what-you-use, sanitizers, fuzzing, clang-format, package managers. Just take a look at https://github.com/cpp-best-practices/gui_starter_template

https://github.com/cpp-best-practices/gui_starter_template from Jason Turner (aka lefticus) is quite a popular one (2.1k stars in Github)

I actually just tried to play around with what seems to be a "modern c++" boilerplate project.

It uses CMake, conan for packaging, clang-tidy and cpp-check, and has templates for fuzz and unit testing[1].

I found it because qtcreator and kdevelop were weirdly clunky and created partly broken qt projects and I figured I wanted to add a package manager and qt to the mix.

The template looks really fancy, but it's so incredibly slow, to the point of being unusable.

It's a ramble yes. But the point is modern C++ tools seem to have added some niceties to the language, but they also brought more of the main C++ issues, i.e. slow compile times and nasty boilerplate in the build process. Yes, I realize CMake isn't modern and there are a bunch of new build tools.

Clang-tidy file of the C++ Project Template

For cmake i find this useful: https://cliutils.gitlab.io/modern-cmake/ https://github.com/cpp-best-practices/gui_starter_template

Jason Turner (known from cppcast) has following project: https://github.com/cpp-best-practices/cpp_starter_project

this is a cpp_question, but anyway, I think this is exactly what you're looking for. Credits go to Jason Turner.

All suggestions are welcome,thanks in advance

Make sure that apart from learning you're using the knowledge to create something either your own idea or maybe something from https://github.com/danistefanovic/build-your-own-x (with your own twist if possible.). It helps a lot to be working on something separately and seeing the results of your new knowledge outside of a tutorial scenario.

28. Build your own X

Do some projects. Come up with your own ideas or pick something from a list like https://github.com/danistefanovic/build-your-own-x

ello! i'm 20f and humanities student (ir/poli sci) with interest in coding since high school, but just now i have the time to start learning it. i opted for learning pyhton first mostly because i'm interested in automation, data analysis, plus was skimming over the tutorials of build your own x and was surprised that you can do a lot of things with just pyhton.

As for exercises there are plenty of programming task websites out there, most of them are quite boring but you can use a fun one like https://adventofcode.com/ . However the best things to work on are things you actually like so do some small projects. Games (start with command line stuff like hang-man) are common, otherwise pick something from https://github.com/danistefanovic/build-your-own-x or whatever else ideas come to your mind.
