Welcome to the Linux C++ Backend Development Playground! This project is designed for engineers with backend development experience who want to master modern C++, system programming, network programming, and performance optimization through progressive hands-on projects.
About This Project
The C++ Linux Playground is structured as a progressive learning experience across four phases, each building upon the previous one:
- Phase 1: Syntax and Tool Familiarization with command-line utilities
- Phase 2: System Programming with memory management and process control
- Phase 3: Network Programming with TCP/HTTP server implementations
- Phase 4: Comprehensive Practice with real-world applications
The Art of C++ Development
Modern C++ development requires a deep understanding of both high-level abstractions and low-level system programming. Our curriculum is designed to bridge this gap, taking you from basic syntax and tools through complex system-level programming concepts. This playground emphasizes:
- Modern C++ Standards: Leveraging C++20 and C++23 features for safer, more efficient code
- System Programming: Understanding Linux system calls, memory management, and process control
- Network Programming: Building robust, high-performance network applications
- Development Environment Optimization: Using containerized environments for consistent development experiences
- Performance Optimization: Techniques for building high-performance C++ applications
What You'll Learn
- Modern C++20 features and best practices
- Linux system programming and system calls
- Network programming with TCP/IP
- Concurrent and multithreaded programming
- Performance optimization techniques
- Memory management and allocation strategies
- Best practices for large-scale C++ projects
- Modern tooling and debugging techniques
Getting Started
Begin your journey by exploring our Documentation section where you'll find setup instructions and detailed guides for each phase. Each project includes implementation guides, code examples, and testing strategies to help you master C++ development.
About the Curriculum
This curriculum continues to evolve to reflect current industry standards and tools, ensuring you're learning skills that are directly applicable to real-world development challenges.
The curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning with practical projects that build upon each other, providing a solid foundation in both theoretical concepts and practical implementation.
