Re: [Boost-users] Boost books [was RE: Hi]

Hello, With some of the boost core part of boost-consulting, I guess it is quite feasible to come up with a definitive guide to boost or even a cookbook styled book. Boost is a treasure box, the problem is to know what library fits where. Hence, request for a cookbook styled book. I find the getting into using boost part the toughest mainly due to lack of understanding of various features and their applicability of boost libraries. With more boost libraries becoming part of standard C++, I am sure the demand is just going to increase. I am just waiting to buy one good book to get an overview of libraries and their usage in one printed bound copy. -dhruva ----- Original Message ----

Another boost book we are expecting is boost proto. It is a great library.

So far, I am referring to the link proto_doc_pdf

for the nice pdf documentation.

May be, Eric will oblige us by penning down the greatest library in boost: proto in a book form in very near future.

I look forward to a book on proto.

Wow, thanks. I don't have plans to write a Proto book, though. It's so niche, I doubt there would be enough people who would buy it.
