C++ Socket Chat Server Practice

What this project for

A simple project for study Modern C++, Makefile and socket communication.

This project also contains its dedicated client program but I hope I can create another one by a different language like Go or Flutter.

The list I'm going to do that I hope

• Modern C++ (C++17)

Many key features from the modern languages are getting be implemented into C++ over time so that we can consider Modern C++ a concentrated language of full of features.

• Clang

Which is not that different from gcc in various aspects but supports cross-platform.

• Makefile

Getting be familiar with Makefile by writing them from scratch. Then, I hope I will learn and convert to CMake if I have more time.

• TDD (Test Driven Developement)

I have a little bit of knowledge about TDD on Python but haven't on the other languages.

Current status of this practice
