This repository contains all the code examples from the Boost C++ Application Development Cookbook (ISBN: 9781849514880), Packt Publishing, by Antony Polukhin.
Compile and Run Examples Online.
This repository contatins project files for QtCreator IDE. BoostBook.pro - is the main project file.
See config.txt file for setupping platform specific flags.
QtCreator's project files are very simple and it's easy to understand what is required for example compilation by just opening the '.pro' file with any text editor.

Some of the C++ coding styles are broken to fit better cookbook educational format:
- Headers are not always included in the beginning of source and header files.
This is done in attempt to show in which header which classes and functions are defined. Another goal of doing so, is to avoid errors while copying parts of code to book (it is simpler and safer to copy required peace of code at once, instead of gathering together headers and code parts all across the project).
- Our own classes are declared in global namespace (instead of separate namespace).
This is done to reduce amount of unrequired text in book.
- Usually no aliases for namespaces used and usually no
using namespaceused.
This is done for your simplicity. You may open any recipe, start it from the middle of 'How to do it' part and see a working part of code that does not require searching all around the chapter for an answer 'In what namespace is this class defined?'.
