Technical requirements

All the code for this book can be found in the GitHub repository for this book at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Building-Low-Latency-Applications-with-CPP. The source for this chapter is in the Chapter4 directory in the repository.

We expect you to have at least intermediate C++ programming experience, since we will assume you understand the widely used C++ programming features well. We also assume that you have some experience with network programming in C++, since network programming is a huge topic and cannot be covered in this book. For this book, starting with this chapter, we will use the CMake and Ninja build systems, so we expect you to either understand CMake, g++, Ninja, Make, or some such build system to be able to build the code samples for this book.

The specifications of the environment in which the source code for this book was developed are shown here. We present the details of this environment since all the C++ code presented in this...
