This book is waste of money. Please don't buy it, rather go to boost official site and read their tutorial.

I'm an experienced C++ programmer. One of my friends recommended this book and I enjoyed it.I use Boost for my own projects and know it pretty well. So I read the first few recipes fully and then just started reading Intro+HowToDoIt+TheresMore sections, skipping the detailed recipe description ("How It works").That was great. A lot of good tricks and modern C++ knowledge even for an experienced programmer!I strictly recommend reading this book.

Liked the easter eggs! Now seriously, the book is well written with a lot of practical advice. It is a set of recipes for everyday use, actually. Every topic (or recipe) consists of five parts: a short introduction of what this topic is about and what you'll need to use it, the recipe itself, explanation, additional information on the subject and related links. I've really enjoyed "There's more..." section. since usually it contains some interesting facts.Strongly recommend this book to every C++ developer, especially, if you just discovered boost or about to use boost ln your project.Of course, some topics seem to be pretty obvious, but I guess one can't know everything, so someone might find this helpful.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
