[Cppcms-users] C++ Web Development

[Judah A. <jud...@ec...>]

Hi,

I'm am currently a PHP web developer, but I'm interested in the structure,
performance, and low level access of C++.  Where should I start?  Should I
be looking into CppCMS 1.X or 0.X?  Is there a guide that can take me
through everything (including setting up the nginx and fcgi)?

Hi,

Hello,

CppCMS 0.x is better documented has more tutorials
but with release of 1.x it would receive only minor
support. So for future 1.x is better but be aware
that it is still beta version, but it is quite stable.

The major drawback of CppCMS 1.x.x is that it has
less tutorials. But it has much
better API and much simpler to configure and install.

So it is up to you.

Note: CppCMS 1.x had brought big changed is API so
      it would not be stright forward to upgrade to 
      next version.

Averithing can be found there:

Start from tutorials and reference documentation.

Also CppCMS 1.x has quite a set of examples in svn.

> (including setting up the nginx and fcgi)?

There is utility cppcms_run that allows you to debug and
run your application with different web servers, also CppCMS 1.x has
build in web server for debugging.

Just take a look on configuration file being created, 
CppCMS setup is same setup for general fastcgi process.

Hi, I'm currently a PHP developer too, and I have a little experience in C++
development with Borland C++ Builder and SDCC.

If you new to development in C++, we must learn some different (or different
implemented) language features compare with PHP, such as function operator,
template (many external library provide API via template), and pointer
(including array pointer, string pointer, etc).

We must know how to compile and link our program with or without external
library (some that maybe strange for a PHP developer). A book that cover
this problem is "An Introduction to GCC,for the GNU Compilers gcc and g++".

Oh ya, I have read an old Design Pattern book by gang of four. Some part of
this book explain how to use C++ language feature in design pattern in an
elegant and simple way.

I hope this can help you.
