C++ 资源大全中文版

我想很多程序员应该记得 GitHub 上有一个 Awesome - XXX 系列的资源整理。awesome-cpp 就是 fffaraz 发起维护的 C++ 资源列表，内容包括：标准库、Web应用框架、人工智能、数据库、图片处理、机器学习、日志、代码分析等。
Awesome 系列虽然挺全，但基本只对收录的资源做了极为简要的介绍，如果有更详细的中文介绍，对相应开发者的帮助会更大。这也是我们发起这个开源项目的初衷。

我们要做什么？

如何参与本项目？

从下面的目录来看，本项目的工作量小不了，所以非常期待能有更多程序员一起来参与。
不过加入前，有几个小要求：
  • 英文还不错，能读懂英文并用自己的话复述；
  • 有 C++ 开发经验；
如有兴趣，请加 QQ：50872495。加 Q 时请注明「C++大全」
