Bill Hoffman, the creator of the CMake project, will give an introduction to development with modern CMake constructs. CMake is 17 years old and has evolved over time into the most widely used C++ build tool in the world. In the past 5 years, many new features have been added to CMake to make the creation of cross platform build files easier. This talk will provide best practices for development and maintenance of a CMake build system. The talk will cover the "target centric" approach to writing CMake files. In addition, testing and quality dashboards with CDash (www.cdash.org) will be covered.
