| Summary |
What you want is an easy level of abstraction, which is just what this book provides in conjunction with Boost. Asio. Switching to Boost. Asio is just a few extra #include directives away, with the help of this practical and engaging guide. This book is great for developers that need to do network programming, who don't want to delve into the complicated issues of a raw networking API. You should be familiar with core Boost concepts, such as smart pointers and shared_from_this, resource classes (noncopyable), functors and boost::bind, boost mutexes, and the boost date/time library. Readers should. |
