Effective Modern CMake

Getting Started

For a brief user-level introduction to CMake, watch C++ Weekly, Episode 78, Intro to CMake by Jason Turner. LLVM’s CMake Primer provides a good high-level introduction to the CMake syntax. Go read it now.

After that, watch Mathieu Ropert’s CppCon 2017 talk Using Modern CMake Patterns to Enforce a Good Modular Design (slides). It provides a thorough explanation of what modern CMake is and why it is so much better than “old school” CMake. The modular design ideas in this talk are based on the book [Large-Scale C++ Software Design](https://www.amazon.de/Large-Scale-Soft

- Inexplicable perversity of human nature.
- The clever machinations of MongoDB's marketing people.
- The AGPL license killed it.
- We spent too long development before monetizing.
- Bad performance.
- Numeric types limited to a 64-bit `float`.
- Great product, but didn't/couldn't translate to revenue.
- Bad business model.
- Failure in timezones/timestamp nuances.

System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
- Who is going to use it?
- How are they going to use it?

What the hell are environment variables?

They're just variables you set on your system that various programs/processes can read. A fairly standard example in javascript circles would be setting your NODE_ENV variable to "production" or "development", altering how node code is executed on your system (for example showing more debug messaging when in development).

With most shells there's a way to set them for the current session, and a way to set them for all sessions. The following is meant to be a guide on how to set env vars in the various shells.

Bash (The default shell on OSX)

Setting for the session:

	# Note: A GitHub Application is needed for authorization, if you don't have one, going to https://github.com/settings/applications/new register a new one.
	# You must specify the website domain url in the Authorization callback URL field.
	clientID: # GitHub Application Client ID
	clientSecret: # GitHub Application Client Secret,
	repository: blog-comments # Storage gittalk's repository
	owner: colynn # GitHub repo owner,
	admin: colynn # GitHub repo owner and collaborators, only these guys can initialize github issues eg. 'colynn,daattali'
