Read full description

A reference of everyday C++, from strings and STL containers to templates, smart pointers and threads. Every example comes with an explanation, and most of them run. • 19 sections: simple types, arrays and collections, classes and structs, templates, functions and lambdas, operator overloading, exception handling, regular expressions, threading, files, algorithms, patterns. • Run in the app: the example really executes and the output appears under the code. Needs an internet connection. • What changed in new versions: 5 sections from C++11 to C++23, with "before" and "after" code side by side. • Keyword and function reference: 192 articles, fully open with no daily counter. • SQL alongside: over 200 queries against a live practice database - JOIN, GROUP BY, subqueries, data types. • Edit examples and add your own - they stay in the app and are always at hand. • Search runs over the code itself, not just the titles: remember a fragment and you will find the example. • Everything except running works offline. No account needed. WHAT THE FREE VERSION INCLUDES 12 runs and 12 edits a day - the counter resets every morning. The keyword reference is open without limits. Up to 5 examples of your own. Copying in the free app is blocked after five attempts. The full version opens every example, removes the daily limits and raises running to 30 launches a day. One purchase, no subscription. Made by a developer for developers. In development since 2015.

PlomGit is a simple open source git client. It supports enough basic functionality that programmers can use it for version controlling their personal files. Repositories are accessible through the Files app, so you can use other apps to work with your repositories' files. PlomGit only supports fetching and pushing through http(s). Account passwords or tokens can be stored separately from repositories, so that repositories can easily share them. Note: When using PlomGit with GitHub, you cannot use your normal GitHub password with PlomGit. You must go into the settings of the GitHub website and generate a Personal Access Token that PlomGit can use instead.
