Stl.Fusion Tutorial

Prerequisites

We highly recommended you to read the Overview first.

Install:

• .NET Core SDK 3.1 - you need it to build Stl.Fusion, its samples, and this tutorial
• try-dotnet - it's the tool to "run" the tutorial. If its release version fails to run the code (right now it does, the bug is reported), you'll need to install its preview version using the following command:

  dotnet tool install -g --add-source "https://dotnet.myget.org/F/dotnet-try/api/v3/index.json" Microsoft.dotnet-try

To run the tutorial, cd to the "tutorial" folder and type:

dotnet try

Tutorial

The code based on Stl.Fusion (we'll refer to it as "Fusion" further) might look completely weird at first - that's because it is based on abstractions you need to learn about before starting to dig into the code.

Understanding how they work will also eliminate a lot of questions you might get further, so we highly recommend you to complete this tutorial before digging into the source code of Fusion samples.
