@andaroth Code::Blocks was nice - get nightly builds from the forums if you do - and CMake works quite well as a projekt generator for it. https://www.youtube.com/user/CppCon that one is also a really nice source to learn stuff - avoid anything before C++11 (thats a whole different language). A lot of things are coming like std::string_view, concepts or template type deduction for constructors. Also have a look at the sources of e.g. yaml-cpp or github.com/whoshuu/cpr

Tried to fit everything into 500 characters (*phew*) - actually impossible ;)
I could provide more if you have any/specific questions. At what point of learning that language are you at the moment? You already decided on your platform and IDE?
