Like C/C++ Development with Visual Studio? Like it Better with Conan.

Microsoft's introduction of Vcpkg marked a significant advancement in package management for developers using Visual Studio for C/C++ projects, offering a streamlined way to retrieve and build open-source libraries. However, Vcpkg faces challenges with managing binaries and handling multiple versions of the same package concurrently, which are crucial for large-scale projects. In contrast, the Conan C/C++ package manager addresses these limitations by supporting any build system and serving as a comprehensive package manager for both Visual Studio and hybrid technology stacks. A tutorial on the Conan blog provides guidance on effectively using Conan with Visual Studio to manage and share binaries across various configurations.
