The Boost C++ Libraries introduces 38 general purpose Boost libraries. They should be of great use to C++ developers - no matter what industry they work in and no matter what software they create. The most important goal of the book is to increase your efficiency as a C++ developer. You will learn how to use the Boost libraries to write less code with fewer bugs and finish projects faster. And you will see how the Boost libraries help you write more concise code that is more easily maintained and more easily understood by others. Just as The Boost C++ Libraries focuses on increasing your efficiency, the author has tried hard to introduce the libraries as efficiently as possible so you can learn about the Boost libraries easily and quickly. Ideally you should be able to read the book in one or two days and understand each Boost library immediately, without having to read chapters a second time. Even if you have no experience with any of the 38 Boost libraries, once you have read the book, you should be able to decide which ones to use and know how to use them. Although the book is not a reference, you may want to look up chapters from time to time to recall details. It does not replace the official documentation for the Boost libraries; instead it complements it. The book comes with over 250 examples, which are short but complete - they can be built and run. The idea is to help you quickly understand what classes and functions the Boost libraries offer. Again, it's about getting you up to speed. The author considers the book a success if you find the 38 Boost libraries introduced easy to use, and if they help you become a more productive C++ developer. He also considers it a success if you go through the book with ease and find the explanations and examples crystal-clear. This book and the Boost libraries should make your life as a C++ developer easier. The Boost C++ Libraries introduces the following libraries from Boost 1.47.0, which was released in July 2011: <ul>
<li>Any </li>
<li>Array </li>
<li>Asio </li>
<li>Bimap </li>

The second edition of Boris Schäling's definitive book, The Boost C++ Libraries, introduces 72 Boost libraries that provide a wide range of useful capabilities. They help you manage memory and process strings more easily. They provide containers and other data structures that go well beyond what the standard library offers. They make it easy to build platform-independent network applications. Simply put, these 72 libraries greatly expand your C++ toolbox. The second edition contains more than 430 examples. All examples are as short as possible, but they are complete, so you can compile and run them as is. They show you what the Boost libraries offer and give you a head start on using the libraries in your own applications. The goal of this book is to increase your efficiency as a C++ developer and to simplify software development with C++. The Boost libraries introduced in this book will help you write less code with fewer bugs and finish projects faster. Your code will be more concise and self-explanatory and more easily adapted when requirements change. The second edition is based on the Boost libraries 1.55.0 and 1.56.0 with the latter version having been released in August 2014. The examples are based on C++11 and have been tested with Visual Studio 2013, GCC 4.8 and Clang 3.3 on various platforms. For Boost libraries that were incorporated into the C++11 standard library, differences between Boost and the standard library are highlighted. The Boost libraries are one of the most important and influential open source C++ libraries. Their source code is available under a permissive free software license. Several Boost libraries have been incorporated into the C++11 standard library. The Boost libraries are developed and supported by the Boost community - a worldwide developer community with a strong interest in pushing C++ boundaries further.
