The Boost C++ Libraries
by Boris Schäling. $49.95.
Boris Schäling has written the definitive introduction to the Boost C++ Libraries. Based on his popular web site, his book provides over 250 examples that show you how to get the most from this important library. You will learn how to use the libraries for event handling, multithreading, asynchronous I/O, parsing, string handling, and much more.
His book will help you write more reliable code and become a more productive programmer. The Boost C++ Libraries complement the C++ standard by adding practical tools that any C++ developer can use in any C++ project. They are based on the C++ standard and many of the libraries will be incorporated into the next version of the standard. The software is freely available and the project is supported by a large developer community
