How To Create C/C++ Code In Visual Studio Code

By -

 I like Visual studio code, it’s cross-platformed, and very fast IDE(or for some people they just call it a text editor). But this text editor is very smart and supports many features, well actually you can just create your own extensions if you think that your programming language or tool is not available in the extension market.

In this tutorial I am using Windows, to develop C/C++ code, firstable you need to already have C/C++ build tools, which you can install through Visual studio installer. But if you prefer using MinGW or Cygwin, it’s up to you, but i am not familiar with that.


1. Assuming you don’t have C++ build tools on your windows machine, then first you need to Download Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019 here: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2019

2. Open Visual studio installer 2019, select Desktop development with C++, and install them.


3. All those above steps are just one time process, you're not gonna repeat that each time you create a new project, just follow this step forward for a new project.
4. Now create new empty folder for your project, and open that folder from your VS code
5. Install this two extension: C/C++ and Cmake Tools by Microsoft


6. Open command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
7. Search and execute cmake configure
8. Select one of the Visual Studio Community 2019 Release, for this project i pick amd64


9. Then CMakeListst.txt was not found, just click “Create” button


10. Enter the name of your project, eg: my-project
11. Select project type: Executable
12. Then the tool will automatically create main.cpp and CMakeListst.txt
13. CMake tool would like to configure intellisense, select Allow
14. At this point you already successfully create a C++ project
15. Now you can modify c++ code inside main.cpp whatever you want
16. To build the project
- Either Ctrl + Shift + P > search cmake build
- Or simply press F7
17. To run or debug your code, either:
- Click on the run icon (triangle icon), at the bottom of VScode

- Or Ctrl + Shift + P > search cmake run without debugging
- Or simply press shift + F5

That’s all, you can do many other things using those Cmake plugins, just Ctrl+shift+p and start one of the available Cmake  tools.

Visual Studio Code is one of very popular useful free IDE products, it literally can do anything with the right plugin. This is the IDE that I use if I want to do very fast coding without thinking. I think the only lack of VS code is the refactoring part. For that kind of job, it needs enterprise level IDE i guess.

I am an experiences web developer, have a good problem-solving and deep understanding of software development principles. With comprehensive skill set in Java, PHP, Python, C and JavaScript. Able to do database thing like MySQL and Oracle. Along with expertise in frameworks like Spring, React, and Firebase. Have a solid understanding of software development methodologies, like Agile and Scrum. I applies best practices to ensure the development process is efficient and of the highest quality output.

ERROR 1348 Column Password Is Not Updatable When Updating MySQL Root Password

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database. UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root'; The solutions for MySQL Error1348 So you can not update a user password using Update commands, to update the password, use ALTER commands instead. like the following. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234'; And then you need to do the flush privileges to commit previous queries (that alter command above) into the system, simply do like this. flush privileges; So now you have your root with password 1234. Although it is recommended to

After plugin window opened, click tab Available Plugins and find the "Nb SpringBoot" plugin then install and activate the plugin. 2. After restarting the Netbeans IDE. Now you gonna be able to create a new project with Spring boot application. File > New Project > Under categories, choose Maven > then choose  Spring Boot Basic. Now you can start the development of spring boot application using your Netbeans IDE. Open pom.xml to add spring boot dependencies you want.

Spring Kafka - how to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

By -

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Kafka is an asynchronous messaging queuing system, but when you have a case in your project that you need to have the result immediately from another service you can do that quite easily. Kafka from the client side produces a message to the server side, then waiting for the server to return back the message exactly what the client wants. It’s identified in the kafka header request named KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID and a topic where the server should send. If the server side produces the same correlation id to the same topic in the request, then the client side will catch that message as its reply. Although you can work with kafka from a different framework and language other than Java and Spring. Here’s in this example i just specifically giving the example of sending and replying kafka messages using Spring Boot. The Project Overview The client-project will send a string message to the server-project over kafka, then the server-project wil

Reactive Spring Logo This is maybe a very simple task, but for those of you that may not be familiar with WebFlux found it difficult to create a Rest API that handles upload and download in Reactive spring application. Create the skeleton Spring project Create a new project, go to start.spring.io , on the dependencies section, add Spring Reactive Web. Generate and extract it into your desired project location. Instead of using spring-boot-starter-web, use spring-boot-starter-webflux instead in your pom.xml. Here’s the pom.xml for our Reactive Rest API project. Create our Rest controller Now that you have set to use WebFlux instead of the usual web, we have to change a little bit in the Controller class that handles the API endpoints. It doesn’t change much but you have to wrap the Response in Mono and the request parameter to FilePart. So our upload and download file controller will look like this. Create utility to handle file upload We need to structure our project better, so we cr

MIME Types List Icons Mime types is important in software development, sometimes it is used as system security to verify whether a file contents match with the extensions. Some attacker can just name any file to pass extensions checking, but inside of the file is actually a harmful contents, can be use to read our system, stealing our data even worse using our resource for their benefit. Here's complete list of mime types, pair with the extensions of file. 123 application/vnd.lotus-1-2-3 ez application/andrew-inset aw application/applixware atom application/atom+xml atomcat application/atomcat+xml atomsvc application/atomsvc+xml bdoc application/bdoc ccxml application/ccxml+xml cdmia application/cdmi-capability cdmic application/cdmi-container cdmid application/cdmi-domain cdmio application/cdmi-object cdmiq application/cdmi-queue cu application
