Tutorials for Boost Libraries in C++

Hi Friends ,

Please help me in finding some good sites that provide some resources , tutorials or code snipplets that will be helpful for me to program in c++ using boost libraries .
My main intrest in Boost library is regular expressions .

I searched in google and in google codesearch , but the resulting code snipplets didnt match my requirements . So if you know some good links or resources let me know .

Thanks in advance

Hi,
just look on www.boost.org
there is the online documentation and if I remember correctly some good examples for regex.

Cheers,

There is a book called The Boost Libraries that was published about a year ago. It discusses some of the Boost libraries (not all of the) but it's pretty good.

The way I understand it, boost is a collection of code from different authors. I doubt you would get a very comprehensive book that covers everything in detail.

I know boost graph algorithms came out with a book. I've not seen the book Danny mentioned. As drkybelk said, you're best bet is look here

http://www.boost.org/libs/libraries.htm

for the part you are interested and hope that an example has been given. Otherwise, boost mailing list will probably be your best bet.

It's true but the boost libraries undergo rigorous tests and evaluations so the accepted libraries comply with some basic guidelines, coding standards and quality requirements. In addition, every library accepted to boost includes extensive documentation. However, I think it's better to start from a more practical stance: look for a library you need and learn how to use it, instead of trying to chew the entire collection of libraries that boost offers. There are simply many libraries and not all of them are useful for every programmer.
