Muhammad Saqib – Senior Software Engineer & Founder of MyCPlus

Muhammad Saqib author banner — MyCPlus

Muhammad Saqib is the founder and lead author of MyCPlus, the programming-education site he launched in 2004. The idea grew out of his own struggle learning to program at university — C was the first language he picked up — and the help he wished he’d had became the site he built for others. What began as a C and C++ resource has since grown into a broad hub of tutorials, working code examples, and computer science guides across many languages and skill levels.

He holds an MSc in Computer Applications from the University of Plymouth, UK (2008) and has spent over 15 years building large-scale software across automotive, healthcare, retail, mobility, and education. Along the way he has worked with Ford, Hyundai, Trilogy/DevFactory, OT EMR, Al Othaim Markets, and NUST–SEECS, and today leads backend engineering as Technical Team Lead at a public transportation authority.

A hands-on, polyglot engineer, he works across C/C++, Java, C#, PHP, Python, and JavaScript, and writes here about programming, software engineering, DevOps, Agile, and computer science.

More than twenty years on, MyCPlus keeps the goal it started with: clear tutorials, real source code, and a place for learners to get unstuck — written by someone who has been on both sides of the problem.

Solving the Knapsack Problem

Solving the Knapsack Problem with Code Examples

The Knapsack Problem is a classic optimization problem in computer science and mathematics. The goal is to maximize the value of items placed in a knapsack without exceeding its weight capacity. This problem has many variations, but the most common are: 0/1 Knapsack Problem: Each item can either be included or excluded. Fractional Knapsack Problem: Items can be divided to maximize value.

10 C++ Libraries That Every Student Should Know

C++ is a diverse programming language that is widely used in various areas, from system programming to game development. Its variety of features and a robust ecosystem of libraries offer numerous opportunities for extending functionality and improving its development. Familiarizing yourself with C++ libraries can help students improve their coding skills. Here’s a detailed look at 10 C++ libraries every student should know.

Game Engines

Game Engines Explained

The first, and perhaps most important, is to understand game engines. These development tools are becoming increasingly indispensable in the creation of modern-day digital games and they’re not going unnoticed by players. Today’s gamers are just as clued up on the tech that underpins their favorite titles as they are the content of the game itself — during the build up to the release of the CS:GO sequel one of the most frequent topics of discussion was what engine is CS2 on.

How to Master XML Conversion With C++

Although there are good tools that one can use to process and convert large and complex XML data like a converter from Sonra, there are quite a few libraries that can help in processing some simple XML over C++.
