In this episode of epic open source projects I will take you to a journey to a language that is the backbone of everything, namely C++. Sit tight because what I am about to show you may blow your mind!

You can use these projects for your own benefit, learn C++ from the open source code, or even contribute by joining the coders from around the world in their effort to develop these apps. Let’s begin the feast:

Dear ImGui: The Easiest Way To Create Apps

Dear ImGui is very well know in the gaming community, but not so popular outside of it. For me, a design developer it is a revaluation.

The system offers you a lot of components ready to use that appear after writing a single line of code in C++. You can even bind them together to create some pretty impressive apps in a matter of hours.

Just look at it:
