This is a WIP by Joseph Farkas (MrRedness).

CCC: C++ Crash Course

We introduce the basics of C++ so that anyone with a little time can learn enough C++ to read and understand at least some of our Robot's codebase. You don't have to know much to get started and contribute to our code; you'll learn as you help!

RLD: Robot Library Docs

Once you get a good grasp of the C++ essentials, feel free to consult this guide to learn how to use some of the more common libraries we use to communicate and control sensors, motors, etc. in our code.

As always, the best way to learn is to take a leap and get involved! You can always ask questions or come back and consult this guide (or the internet) if you need. Please give it a try!

Get Involved!

The aim of this documentation is to provide anyone who wishes to contribute a great place to start and understand not just the WHAT, but also the WHY behind the code.

Don't hesitate to try something out and see if it works, nothing you do will ever ruin our code as we have git history!

If you're looking for a project to help out with, please ask in #programming in Slack or come to a meeting to get added to our GitHub group, and then check out the Issues tab on the repo for our robot's code.

If you do start contributing to the code base, try to follow the Edit Guidelines (located in the robot code repo) as having consistent style makes the code easier to read for others.
