One of the projects I got to work on relied on an C++ REST SDK cpprestsdk from Microsoft, I need to build this library myself as we needed to modify the code a little bit. Though I have been working on C and C++ over the Linux platform for a few years, it’s my very first time working with MSVC over the Windows platform and this library. I knew that Visual C++ projects can be quite challenging to deal with, and as soon as I saw that this library is in maintenance mode, I could feel it would cause a lot of trouble.
