Hi, I am trying to get more into BOOST than what I am using currently (which is quite minimal compared to what BOOST has to offer these days) and which does not include a whole lot of new things that have got into BOOST. Are there any BOOST professionals willing to come up with a COOKBOOK for using BOOST libraries? The book "Beyond the C++ Standard Library: An Introduction to Boost" has a decent coverage but is quite dated compared to the leap BOOST library suite has seen in the recent days. As a user of BOOST, I request someone with good knowledge to come up with a COOKBOOK (like the PERL/PYTHON cookbook) for the benefit for BOOST users. It could be modeled along the PYTHON COOKBOOK. Activestate has a site to submit recipes and those are taken up, polished and edited into a nice book.
with best regards, dhruva

All very well asking, but writing a book is a very time consuming and difficult task, then you have to get it published, otherwise you have spent a year of your life with no income (or two years of your spare time - and who has that any more). I'm amazed that the current docs are even as good as they are.....but would agree that there is a lack of consistency which I believe the boost:docs projects is aiming to fix. Whether it will is anyone's guess. James This message (including any attachments) contains confidential and/or proprietary information intended only for the addressee.
