CMake training focuses on teaching participants how to use CMake, a powerful tool for managing the build process of software projects, especially in C and C++ development. The course covers key concepts such as configuring, generating, and building projects across multiple platforms using CMake's scripting language. Participants learn how to define project structures, set build options, and manage dependencies, making it easier to handle complex projects. Hands-on exercises involve creating CMakeLists files, configuring builds for different environments, and integrating with version control systems. By the end of the training, attendees will be proficient in using CMake to streamline the build process, improve project portability, and ensure consistency across different platforms.

Basic knowledge of C/C++ programming.
Familiarity with build systems and tools like Make or Ninja (optional but beneficial).

Upon completion of this course, participants will:

Understand the core concepts of CMake and its role in the build process.
Learn to create and manage CMake-based projects.
Gain hands-on experience in configuring and generating build systems.
Learn to manage project dependencies and integrate third-party libraries.
Acquire skills to troubleshoot and optimize build configurations effectively.

CMake Basics: Ability to create simple CMakeLists files for projects.
Cross-Platform Builds: Configure builds for multiple platforms using CMake.
Dependency Management: Integrate and manage external libraries in CMake projects.
Build Optimization: Optimize the build process for faster and more efficient compilation.

Participants will be assessed on:

Creating and configuring CMakeLists for simple projects.
Generating and using build files for different platforms.
Managing dependencies in CMake projects.
Troubleshooting common CMake issues.

Certificate of Completion: Participants who attend all sessions and successfully complete the course assessments will receive a ProgNXT Certificate of Completion for CMake Fundamentals Training.
