Multi-Paradigm Programming with Modern C++ - Organizing Source Files

The video tutorial emphasizes the importance of organizing project files and folders from the start to avoid future complications. It demonstrates a simple console application using Boost ASIO for a UDP server and client, highlighting that the focus is not on networking. The tutorial covers best practices for organizing include files, such as placing project includes before library includes, using forward declarations, and employing include guards or pragma once. It also discusses improving project structure by creating packages and separating interfaces from implementations, which aids in project scalability and documentation.
