<h2>Welcome to Boost.org!</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.</p>
|
|
<p>We emphasize libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library. Boost
|
|
libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad spectrum
|
|
of applications. The <a href="https://www.boost.org/users/license.html">Boost
|
|
license</a> encourages the use of Boost libraries for all users with minimal
|
|
restrictions.</p>
|
|
<p>We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
|
|
implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
|
|
standardization. Beginning with the ten Boost Libraries included in the Library
|

|
|
(<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1745.pdf">TR1</a>)
|
|
and continuing with every release of the ISO standard for C++ since 2011, the
|
|
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">C++ Standards Committee</a>
|
|
has continued to rely on Boost as a valuable source for additions to the
|
|
Standard C++ Library.</p>
|
|
<h3>Boost as an organization</h3>
|
|
<p>The Boost organization and wider Boost community supports research and
|
|
education in the best possible uses of C++ and libraries developer for it,
|
|
particularly, but not exclusively those contained in the Boost Library.</p>
|
|
<p>The organization and community support mailing lists and chat rooms to
|
|
educate about best practices and cutting edge techniques for the user of Boost
|
|
Libraries and C++ in general.</p>
|
|
<p>Since 2006 an intimate week long annual conference related to Boost called
|
|
C++ Now has been held in Aspen, Colorado each May. The conference is an
|
|
educational opportunity focused on cutting-edge C++. Boost has been a
|
|
participant in the annual Google Summer of Code since 2007, in which students
|
|
develop their skills by working on Boost Library development.</p>
