"Moshe Matitya"
I would like to get a sense of who is the intended target audience for BoostCon.
I am an experienced C++ developer whose familiarity with Boost is limited to just three or four of the libraries (which I use often). Unfortunately, my knowledge of the rest of Boost is currently rather scant, although I am quite interested in learning more. My question is whether or not BoostCon is appropriate for someone like me.
Of course!
The conference announcement says that there will be a track "focused on the practical interests of Boost end-users". Does this mean people who are already experienced users of Boost, both in breadth and depth -- or are there plans for sessions to provide intoductory exposure to various Boost libraries for developers unfamiliar with them? I, for one, would be very interested in such sessions.
The first half of the week will be aimed at the broad spectrum of end-users, and we intend that there be a particular focus on education. That includes introductory sessions on Boost libraries. If our announcement and webpage don't make that clear enough, we'll need to fix that. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
