Video Course The Boost C++ Libraries in a Nutshell - (code DL-Boost)
C++ is one of the most important and powerful programming languages in use for engineering, business and science applications. In order to promote software productivity by an order of magnitude we can use the Boost C++ libraries (see www.boost.org):
“Use of high-quality libraries like Boost speeds initial development, results in fewer bugs, reduces reinvention-of-the-wheel, and cuts long-term maintenance costs. And since Boost libraries tend to become de facto standards, many programmers are already familiar with them.
Ten of the Boost libraries are included in the C++ Standard Library's TR1, and so are slated for later full standardization. More Boost libraries are in the pipeline for TR2. Using Boost libraries gives an organization a head-start in adopting new technologies.”
Seeing how important these libraries are we have created a set of approximately 40 audios/videos of the most important libraries in Boost. Each audio/video session deals with a specific library and it gets you up to speed so that you learn the major features of a given library in less than an hour. An example of the style is: Example of style
The session is backed by the two books (published by Datasim Press) on Boost that Robert Demming and Daniel J. Duffy have written and you receive full source of examples in these books and audio/video sessions.
An audio/video overview of the Boost C++ libraries can be found at the Datasim Press site: Overview of the Boost C++ Libraries
This unique course is the ideal way to jump start your experience with the Boost C++ libraries as software building blocks and using them in your applications
Please note: this course does not include exercises nor instructor feedback. Please see the course outlines on datasimfinancial.com and www.datasim.nl if you are interested in such courses.
