Boost.asio C++ Network Programming Cookbook

It's in the headline.The book contents is good, but the formatting is atrocious.

I found this book approachable to someone totally ignorant of Boost.Asio. For younger readers, it provides useful historical background over _why_ Boost.Asio exists. For more experienced programmers, it's worth keeping around as a reference source to quickly use one of its recipes.Bonus points for using C++17 and sensible object-oriented design decisions in a networking context. Both of these were hard to find in a Boost.Asio tutorial when I first bought this book.

The Boost library is really well laid out and really great for starting up a project quickly, however it takes time to get used to it and learn the ins and outs. I highly recommend this cookbook once you get your feet wet with networked communications between clients and servers. This cookbook delivers and the author knows the library rather well, and the best part is the code from the book works! Highly recommend this book.

Returning this as I'm not paying $60 for a book that looks and feels like it was printed in India. The paper is almost manila and the toner is not even black, it's gray. Too bad, as the content is great even if a bit outdated.

Great book to get familiar with Asio.Code examples form publisher's site make exploration much faster and productive.Will recommend this book if you already familiar with C++ and Boost and want to dive into C++ networking.

Great book, has definitely become my handbook at work.

This book is worth its weight in gold. Easy to follow step-by-step instructions. It may seem like certain points are repeated but that is exactly what makes the book worth it. It reinforces ideas and idioms and makes them naturally ingrained in the reader.It starts slow and progresses step-by-step and pretty soon, we are flying at a great pace. It is a must-have to learn Boost.Asio programming. I’m loving it.

+ Easy to understand.- Very bloaty. It feels like all the information could be placed on around 20 pages. Covers only a part of the library. Slightly outdated, nothing about coroutines, which seems to be very useful.

This is one of the best Boost.Asio library book in the market. It teaches you things in step by step fashion. Must read I say.

Good Product - arrived quickly

Very good book for beginners , read it back and forth multiple times
