Pushing Ahead with Boost
Today has been another very hard day with boost. It's not an easy set of libraries to get a handle on because it wasn't made for ease of use. It was made, it seems, for primarily STL expansion, so most things are just header files, but the stuff I need - Serialization and ASIO, are libraries. I can see that it appears capable, but getting something beyond the examples is non-trivial.
Certainly, a few examples where they don't put everything into one file would be nice. I've had problems understanding what should go in what classes and headers, simply because they made extremely compact examples. Certainly something to be proud of, but then there's the explanation that needs to go along with it.
Yup, someone could make a fortune with a really good book on boost.
