Thank you all. I will familiarize myself with the Boost and I will choose an
area of interest to me after going through the documentations thoroughly.
Thanks Shayne , Steve and Edward for the advice for a newbie like me. Glad to
be a part of this community.
Dilshan.

Dilshan,
Your request is quite general. Without specifics, it's hard for anyone here
to
give any more detailed advice other than what has already been offered.
As was suggested previously by myself and others, please consult the
documentation for getting started. Come up with a goal on what you want to
accomplish with your coding project and then dive in. That's the best way to
learn.
For example, let's suppose I want to write some code that allows for two
processes to communicate with each other on the same machine. The shared
memory paradigm is something that comes to mind. In light of this, I would
want to dig in and learn about Boost.Interprocess and see what it has to
offer. I can guarantee that you will learn a lot about this library after
you've completed your task. This is but one of a myriad of libraries that
Boost has to offer.
Come up with an objective in mind, pick a Boost library, and dig in...
Good luck.
Shayne

Thank you Shayne. I wanted to try Boost to enhance my coding abilities in C++
and learn the process of optimizing simultaneously. With that in mind, can
you
direct me? Thank you.
Dilshan.

with the libraries.
Depending on what you're wanting to accomplish, I would suggest
looking at
the
pertinent documentation for starting out.

Hi all,
I'm a new member to C++ boost and I have a fairly good
knowledge in
programming in C++. I'm very much excited to join this group and I
need
directions from the senior members on how to start myself. Please
help me
here. Thanks in advance.
regards,
DilSHAN.
