Workshops¶

Welcome to the mp-units workshops — hands-on exercises to practice advanced patterns and techniques with type-safe physical quantities and units in C++.

What are Workshops?¶

These workshops combine elements of learning-oriented tutorials with practical exercises to help you master advanced mp-units patterns through hands-on practice.

Each workshop:

✅ Teaches through doing with exercise-driven TODO markers
✅ Provides real-world scenarios and practical code
✅ Leverages strong types and modern C++ features
✅ Includes interactive code snippets via Compiler Explorer
✅ Progresses from basic refactoring to advanced topics

Prerequisites: Complete the Tutorials first for step-by-step learning. Review the User's Guide as needed for deeper understanding of concepts.
