Overview

The curriculum at 42 starts with the core curriculum. This experience sets the base for minimum skills, both human and technical. Following each student’s personal pace, it lasts a maximum of 18 months and lets students learn C programming, develop simple software using classic algorithms, discover access to the file system, and learn management of the UNIX process. It also includes a simple first approach to network architecture as well as system administration.

Project Details

libft

• Description: This project is about building your first C static library which you will be using throughout the entirety of the common core.
• Technologies/Tools Used: C, Make
• Key Learnings: Getting more familiar with c toolchain and compilation processs, get to know static and shard libraries.
• Link: libft

ft_printf

• Description: This project is about implementing your own basic printf since dealing write for printing is becoming quite tedious.
• Technologies/Tools Used: C
• Key Learnings: Variadic functions in C
• Link: ft_printf

get_next_line

• Description: This project is about implementing your own basic kind of readline which you will use a lot for grabbic user input, or basically reading from a file descriptor line at a time.
• Technologies/Tools Used: C, UNIX
• Key Learnings: Dealing with UNIX file descriptors, and memory management.
• Link: get_next_line

born2beroot

• Description: This project is about creating and setting a linux vm from the ground up. Setting up partitions, users, permissions, services ...
• Technologies/Tools Used: Virtual Box, Linux and bash
• Key Learnings: Getting familiar with Linux, tty and shell scripting.

pipex

• Description: This project is about creating a simple program which will take a number of commands, run them, pipping output of the command to the input of the next one.
• Technologies/Tools Used: C, Make, UNIX Pipes
• Key Learnings: Dealing with UNIX file descriptors
• Link: pipex

so_long

• Description: This project is about creating a simple 2d graphical game using mlx graphics library.
• Technologies/Tools Used: C, Make, mlx
• Key Learnings: Gentle introduction the graphics world
• Link: so_long

push_swap

• Description: This project is about creating a program which will take as a input a variables number of numbers as a arguments, and should ouput predefined serie of instructions to sort these numbers in two stacks.
• Technologies/Tools Used: C, Make
• Key Learnings: A Good project to get hands drity working with stash'ish data structure, and sorting algorithms overall.
• Link: push_swap

philosophers

• Description: This project is solving the classical "The Dining Philosophers" problem.
• Technologies/Tools Used: C, Make
• Key Learnings: Great intorduction into multi-threaded programming, dealing with data races and race conditions.
• Link: philosophers

minishell

• Description: This is a team project is about creating a basic shell, which supports variable expansion, pipping, signal handling ...
• Technologies/Tools Used: C, Make
• Key Learnings: Get to know the shell by creating one (what's better than that ?).
• Link: minishell

cub3d

• Description: This is a team project is about building a game like wolfenstein (using Raycasting)
• Technologies/Tools Used: C, Make
• Key Learnings: Building games without a game engine is hard.
• Link: cub3d

netpractice

• Description: This project is a great opportunity to learn about netwrking concepts like IP, TCP, DNS, DHCP, SWITCHES, ROUTERS ...
• Technologies/Tools Used: Project simulator
• Key Learnings: Learnt basically the internet works. and devices talk to head others using a set of protocols.

42cpp

webserv

• Description: This is a team project what made feel conforatble with web Technologies in general, it's about creating a webserv from the ground up, realying on nothing but Berkeley sockets api and C++98 standard library.
• Technologies/Tools Used: C++, Make
• Key Learnings: HTTP Spec, Multipart-formdata, Event driven programing
• Link: webserv

ft_transcendence

• Description: The last project in the common core, a team project about creating a in browser realtime pong game, with chat features, firends, one to one games, spectating other games.
• Technologies/Tools Used: Nodejs, Typescript, Matterjs, Vuejs, Nestjs
• Key Learnings: Got the opportunity to build a faily complex app with modern solutions, like Typescript, Nodejs and Vuejs.
