Hi Cristopher,
Some impressions of the Asio library, bearing in mind that I am a complete novice in this area, so the impressions are written from an ignorant viewpoint!
For what it's worth, I must concur with Andy on this one ... I too find myself a novice in this domain, and while I do follow the examples, I find that there is a disturbing lack of motivation in the documentation as to why we do this or that. That being said, I realize that we are speaking of a discipline that is learnt with study and a great deal of practise, and so, I also don't expect the documentation to be a substitute for much of that either. Nonetheless, I reach very much the same conclusions as Andy had done, and for what it is worth I also vote Yes, for inclusion of Asio into Boost - if only on the back of others praise for the work. I think Christopher has done an admirable job on this work, and it still amazes me that Asio remains a header only implementation - it certainly is a most comendable effort. ... I certainly like to think that I'll use this library in future, even if only for my own erudition in the subject. Great job Chris!
