Learning Boost C++ Libraries.pdf

This book is for every C++ programmer who is interested in learning about Boost. In particular, if you have never used the Boost libraries before, Learning Boost C++Libraries will get you up to speed with understanding, building, deploying, and using the Boost libraries. If you are familiar with the Boost libraries, but were looking for a springboard to dive deeper and take your expertise to the next level, this book will give you a comprehensive round-up of the most useful Boost libraries and the ways to use them in practical code. Boost is a collection of C++ libraries, and naturally, C++ is the sole language used in this book. You need to have a good working knowledge of C++. In particular, you should be able to read code that uses C++ templates, understand the C++ compilation model, and be able to use a C++ development environment on Linux, Windows, or Mac OS. This book does not cover general C++ concepts as a rule, but some useful C++ books and articles, listed at the end of some chapters, should serve as excellent references.
