Multi‑Platform Development: Cross‑Compilation and Toolchains Developers often need to run the same software on different devices and operating systems. Cross‑compilation lets you build binaries for a target system from your regular computer. A toolchain bundle includes a compiler, linker, assembler, and the libraries and headers that match the target’s architecture and ABI. The goal is to produce working code that behaves correctly on the target, not just on your host. ...

Testing and Continuous Integration: From Code to Confidence Testing and Continuous Integration (CI) are not just tools; they are habits that turn code into reliable software. Tests describe expected behavior, while CI runs those checks automatically whenever a change is made. Over time, this creates confidence for developers, reviewers, and users alike. How CI builds confidence: Early bug detection: small failures are easier to fix. Clear feedback: fast, actionable results guide next steps. Consistent environments: builds run the same way every time. Documentation by tests: regression guards and living examples. Practical steps to start or improve CI: ...
