Why this C++ learning site exists and how it is organized.

About

This project is a static C++ knowledge base built with Zola, a fast static site generator written in Rust.

Goals

Keep explanations concise and practical.
Separate quick-reference material from step-by-step learning.
Cover both classic C++ fundamentals and modern C++20/C++23 style.
Stay fast to build, easy to edit, and simple to deploy.

Site structure

Cheat Sheets: dense, skimmable references for syntax and APIs.
Tutorials: sequential guides with examples and mental models.
Reference: Comprehensive API documentation and language feature summaries.
Links: curated external tutorials, references, compilers, and tools.
About: project scope and usage guidance.

Intended audience

Beginners learning their first compiled language
Intermediate developers moving from C or Java to modern C++
Experienced engineers who want a quick lookup site for daily work

Editing workflow

All content lives in Markdown under the content/ folder, so the site can grow page by page without changing application code.

Example in practice

cpp-handbook/
    content/
        tutorials/
            getting-started.md
        cheatsheet/
            core-syntax.md
        reference/
            header-vector.md
    static/
        style.css
    templates/
        page.html

This project grows by adding Markdown pages to the appropriate content section, then rebuilding the site.
