A C++ tutorial that can (hopefully?) be followed without jumping from chapter to chapter at every step.

• No project files
• Code::Blocks project files

Via a bash shell, compiling all chapters:

for a in Chapter*; do g++ -std=c++11 -o "$a/out" "$a"/*.cpp; done

On OSX:

• You must install XCode and the Command Line Tools package. As of 9/04/2013, Mac OS X doesn't ship with a C++11 compiler.
• Then use clang to build:

for a in Chapter*; do clang++ --std=c++11 --stdlib=libc++ "$a"/*.cpp -o "$a"/out; done

Also, when compiling your own files on either of those two platforms, I recommend you add -Wall and -Wextra to your flags. Clang users may also want to add -fsanitize=undefined.

Thanks to @Gullumluvl it's possible to export these chapters as Markdown or epub files!

To do so, just run

./cpp_2_markdown.py Chapter\ NN*

where NN is the number of the chapter.

You can use

./cpp_2_markdown.py .

to build the whole book.

For building an epub, make sure you have pandoc and run

pandoc -M author=jesyspa \
  --standalone \
  -V 'header-includes="<style>pre > code.sourceCode {white-space: pre-wrap !important;}</style>"' \
  --toc --toc-depth=1 \
  -o linear-cpp.epub \
  ebook.md

The header-includes argument is needed to wrap long code lines.

This project is discontinued. I don't plan to update it for new C++ standards or add any new language features.

Outline of what's coming missing:

• Practical Examples
• Variants, Optional
• Most of inheritance
• Scope
• Storage Duration
• Undefined Behaviour
• File IO
• Libraries: Boost, Abseil...
• Metaprogramming
• C++14 and up
• The preprocessor
• Most C features

So while I'm glad people have found it useful, please don't rely on this by itself to learn C++! It really only scratches the surface, and you'll do yourself a service if you get a good book.
