I'd put a vote in for Boost::any. Another very simple, incredibly useful library. Serialization would be good too, but it might be a bit big for an intro course. Depends how exprienced your audience is. Damien On 22/06/2010 3:02 PM, Andrew Holden wrote:

Hi, I'm going to be teaching a four hours workshop about getting started with Boost, and I'm wondering which libraries would be the most representative and interesting to show.
My top pick would have to be multi-index. It's just so _useful_ once you wrap your brain around it.
Another good one to mention is numeric_cast. It shouldn't need much time as it's really simple, but its error checking has actually helped me catch some really embarrassing errors that would have been nearly impossible to find otherwise. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
