Hi Folks, I am new to Boost. I have looked at the Boost Documentation on the web (http://www.boost.org/libs/libraries.htm) and although it does a very excellent job of listing all the libraries, it doesn't really have any overview documents or tutorials as such. What I would like is some documents that tell me the power of Boost, what its useful for, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, the good news is that there's a book in the works... The bad news is that it's been stalled, and it'll probably be a year before it's out. -- Truth, James Curran www.NovelTheory.com (Personal) www.NJTheater.com (Professional) www.aurora-inc.com (Day job) "Sam Gentile" <ManagedCode@attbi.com> wrote in message news:004601c281b8$fbca4d20$af5c3d18@DOTNET...

Well that's good I guess but even some articles, minor overview. I mean rather than read all the library functions one by one or by areas, what are the main advantages of Boost? What does it have that I can't get with my compiler? --- In Boost-Users@y..., "James Curran/MVP" <jamescurran@m...> wrote:

Boost is a series of implementations, most of them template header files, and some of them libraries. You need to look at the different implementations to decide if any of them are useful for your own C++ programming needs. You certainly do not need to adapt all of Boost simply to use the functionality in a single implementation. "Sam Gentile" <ManagedCode@attbi.com> wrote in message news:apv09q+5jgf@eGroups.com...

Just scan this page http://www.boost.org/libs/libraries.htm#Category It should give you a quick overview of what's available. The first things that stood out for me when I read over it was the graph library and shared pointer stuff. -- P: Egad! You astound me, Brain! B: That's a simple task, Pinky.
