This book follows a cookbook approach, with detailed and practical recipes that use Boost libraries. This book is great for developers new to Boost, and who are looking to improve their knowledge of Boost and see some undocumented details or tricks. Its assumed that you will have some experience in C++ already, as well being familiar with the basics of STL. A few chapters will require some previous knowledge of multithreading and networking. You are expected to have at least one good C++ compiler and compiled version of Boost (1.53.0 or later is recommended), which will be used during the exercises within this book.
