Boost For Dummies is the manual that does not yet exist for the Boost Libraries
The reason it is needed is because the manuals are written mainly by the developers of the libraries and often do not explain clearly how to use the libraries.
The examples given are incomplete because the Cee Plus Plus headers needed are not given fully.
Examples are written when the library is developed and sometimes not checked when the library is updated.
There is a need for code which starts easy and leads the user deeper in by stages.
The best thing I can do is help to build something like this myself. -- John Fletcher
I should mention Beyond The Cpp Standard Library which does something in this direction. It is not recent (2006).
A new idea which may help with the development of this idea: Tips For Boost Libraries.
