Day 1 of learning CMake. 🚀

Today, I’m starting my journey into CMake, one of the tools used to configure and build C++ projects.

I’m not an expert, and that’s the point of this channel.

On Noviceon, I’m documenting the process of going from writing my first lines of code to building real-world software — including the confusing parts, mistakes, debugging, and everything I learn along the way.

In this session, I’m getting started with CMake and trying to understand how it fits into a C++ development workflow.

What I’m learning:
What CMake actually is
Why CMake is used in C++ projects
How CMake projects are structured
CMakeLists.txt
Configuring a basic project
Generating build files
Building a C++ project with CMake
Understanding the basic CMake workflow
Mistakes and lessons from Day 1

This is Day 1, so expect questions, mistakes, experimentation, and learning rather than a perfect expert tutorial.

If you’re also learning programming, C++, CMake, or software development, learn along with me.

One commit at a time.
One challenge at a time.
One step closer to becoming a better developer.

Welcome to Noviceon — where beginners evolve into builders.
