Welcome

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the Boost libraries! By the time you've completed this
|
|
|
|
|
tutorial, you'll be at least somewhat comfortable with the contents
|
|
|
|
|
of a Boost distribution and how to go about using it.

What's Here
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This document is designed to be an *extremely* gentle introduction,
|
|
|
|
|
so we included a fair amount of material that may already be very
|
|
|
|
|
familiar to you. To keep things simple, we also left out some
|
|
|
|
|
information intermediate and advanced users will probably want. At
|
|
|
|
|
the end of this document, we'll refer you on to resources that can
|
|
|
|
|
help you pursue these topics further.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Preliminaries
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We use one typographic convention that might not be immediately
|
|
|
|
|
obvious: *italic* text in examples is meant as a descriptive
|
|
|
|
|
placeholder for something else, usually information that you'll
|
|
|
|
|
provide. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. parsed-literal::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**$** echo "My name is *your name*\ "
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here you're expected to imagine replacing the text “your name” with
|
|
|
|
|
your actual name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
