Boost C++ Application Development Cookbook

2017 | Computing & IT

Learn to build applications faster and better by leveraging the real power of Boost and C++ About This Book * Learn to use the Boost libraries to simplify your application development * Learn to develop high quality, fast and portable applications * Boost your productivity as a C++ developer with the Boost C++ libraries Who This Book Is For This book is for developers looking to improve their knowledge of Boost and who would like to simplify their application development processes. Prior C++ knowledge and familiarity with the STL is assumed.

What You Will Learn * Get familiar with new data types for everyday use * Use pointers to manage resources * Get to grips with compile-time computations and assertions * Use Boost libraries for multithreading * Learn about Parallel execution of different task * Perform common string-related tasks using Boost libraries * Split all the processes, computations, and interactions to tasks and process them independently * Learn the basics of working with graphs * Explore different helper macros used to detect compiler, platform and Boost features In Detail If you want to take advantage of the real power of Boost and C++ and avoid the confusion about which library to use in which situation, then this book is for you. Beginning with the basics of Boost C++, you will move on to learn how the Boost libraries simplify application development. You will learn to convert data such as string to numbers, numbers to string, numbers to numbers and more. Managing resources will become a piece of cake. You'll see what kind of work can be done at compile time and what Boost containers can do. You will learn everything for the development of high quality fast and portable applications.

Write a program once and then you can use it on Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android operating systems. From manipulating images to graphs, directories, timers, files, strings - everyone will find an interesting topic.
