C++ Programming using Boost

Goals

All C++ developers should be using Boost. This course will expose class participants to the most widely used and useful libraries that make up Boost. Students will learn how to easily apply these powerful libraries in their own development through detailed expert instructor-led training and by hands-on exercises.

After finishing this course, class participants will be prepared to apply Boost to their project enabling them to more quickly produce powerful, efficient, and platform independent applications.

Don't be left behind. Many Boost libraries are being included in the next version of the C++ Standard and many more are proposed for inclusion in future versions. Your investment in learning Boost today will be one that will benefit you for years to come.

Audience

Software engineers who wish to be able to apply Boost to their applications. Those interested in evaluating Boost for possible inclusion in future projects will also benefit from this training class.
