As discussed in the "surveying async network io libraries" thread, I'd like to turn asio (asio.sourceforge.net) into a proposal for a boost networking library.
Sound great :-)
I skimmed the docs and your tutorial seems to be very nice so far. (the links are good)
I havn't followed the discussion, so this is just my random input.
1. I hate cryptic short names like
dgram_socket. recv
why not write datagram and receive?
I second Thorsten's comment. Remember that English is a second language for many Boost users, and cryptic abreviations may be particularly troublesome to them. Furthermore, over time the library will be used by many programmers who are not familiar with other networking libraries. Thus clear names are a great asset. --Beman
