CppGuide is a curated collection of educational resources and practical guides focused on C++ server development, Linux kernel internals, concurrent programming, network protocols, and security exploitation. It provides structured learning paths for backend developers, covering everything from interview preparation to building high-performance network servers and understanding operating system fundamentals.
The guide distinguishes itself by offering in-depth, hands-on tutorials that walk through real-world implementations, including building a Redis-like server from scratch, designing custom network protocols, and constructing remote control tools. It also delves into advanced topics such as shellcode injection, kernel module development, and the architecture of the Linux kernel, providing a mental model for how the kernel operates as a responsive, object-based system.
Beyond core C++ and kernel topics, the repository covers a broad range of supporting areas including memory management strategies, concurrency and synchronization patterns, network communication diagnostics, and performance optimization techniques. It also includes material on modern C++ language features, standard library usage, and software architecture patterns like the reactor model and event-driven design.
The documentation is organized as a series of guides and tutorials, with practical code examples and step-by-step explanations that trace execution paths through both user-space and kernel-space code.
