I wanted to provide a quick start to the language, but found it difficult to condense all important concepts into a single blog. While typing it out, I felt this will be better presented as a short book.\n\nThis project is currently a WIP.\n\n[SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON LICENSE](https://github.com/flyingcakes85/cpp-rush-book/discussions/1)\n\n## Roadmap\n\n- [ ] Complete basic topics - conditionals, loops, functions, pointers etc.\n- [ ] Chapter on Strings\n- [ ] Introduce structures\n- [ ] Introduce Classes\n      No plans of going into details of this right now. Focus will be on providing sufficient examples to make topics clear.\n- [ ] Operator overloading\n- [ ] Templates\n- [ ] Introduction to Standard Template Library\n- [ ] More topics? Feel free to share in [Discussions/Suggestions](https://github.com/flyingcakes85/cpp-rush-book/discussions/categories/suggestions)\n\n## Contributing \u0026 Pull Requests\n\nYou can contribute by writing chapters, proofreading existiting chapters, adding more examples, rewriting sections etc. Please read CONTRIBUTING.md to know more. To see chapters requiring proof reading, [click here](https://github.com/flyingcakes85/cpp-rush-book/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22proof+read%22).\n\n## About The Template\n\nThe current template based on [wikiti/pandoc-book-template](https://github.com/wikiti/pandoc-book-template). This is only a temporary choice however. Right now focus is on content rather than formatting.\n\nI will love to know if you have some good pandoc templates in mind. Share them in [Discussions/Suggestions](https://github.com/flyingcakes85/cpp-rush-book/discussions/categories/suggestions).\n\n## Issues\n\nI try to research topics before including them in the book. However, if you happen to find any errors, please bring it to my notice so that it can be fixed.\n\n## Build\n\nWhile this project is incomplete, I will not be regularly providing PDFs. It is easy to generate a PDF yourself.\n\n### Dependencies\n\nYou need `pandoc` and basic Tex/LaTeX tools present on your system. On Arch Linux, you can install them via this command\n\n```sh\nsudo pacman -S texlive-latexextra pandoc\n```\n\nOther required packages will be pulled in as dependencies.\n\nIf using a different distro, you will probably be able to find these packages in the repos.\n\nIn addition, this project uses `make` as a build utility.\n\n### Building PDF\n\nAssuming you have the required dependencies, the following should be run at project root and it will place a PDF in `build/pdf/book.pdf`.\n\n```sh\nmake pdf\n```\n\n## License\n\nFor now, this repository is licensed under MIT. However, I plan to change it to a different license.\n\n[SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON LICENSE](https://github.com/flyingcakes85/cpp-rush-book/discussions/1)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fflyingcakes85%2Fcpp-rush-book","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fflyingcakes85%2Fcpp-rush-book","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fflyingcakes85%2Fcpp-rush-book/lists"}
