Chapter 1. Introducing Boost

Welcome to learning about the richest collection of C++ libraries around, that is, Boost. In this introductory chapter, we will take a look at:

  • The history and evolution of Boost
  • What is Boost?
  • Getting started with Boost libraries

Like all the chapters in the book, this is a hands-on chapter that will require you to type in commands, write and test your code. Therefore, you should have access to a computer with a reasonably modern C++ compiler and an internet connection to download free software, including Boost libraries.
