Learning Boost C++ Libraries: Solve practical programming problems using powerful, portable, and expressive libraries from Boost

by Arindam Mukherjee

Solve practical programming problems using powerful, portable, and expressive libraries from Boost If you are a C++ programmer who has never used Boost libraries before, this book will get you up-to-speed with using them. Whether you are developing new C++ software or maintaining existing code written using Boost libraries, this hands-on introduction will help you decide on the right library and techniques to solve your practical programming problems. Filled with dozens of working code examples that illustrate the use of over 40 popular Boost libraries, this book takes you on a tour of Boost, helping you to independently build the libraries from source and use them in your own code. The first half of the book focuses on basic programming interfaces including generic containers and algorithms, strings, resource management, exception safety, and a miscellany of programming utilities that make everyday programming chores easy. Following a short interlude that introduces template metaprogramming and functional programming, the later chapters are devoted to systems programming interfaces, focusing on directory handling, I/O, concurrency, and network programming

I wish it was more higher level than what it is right now. Although writer says in the introduction it(book) is not , but it does try to mimic reference manual.
