<h1>Welcome to Boost.org!</h1>
|
|
<p>The Boost web site provides free, peer-reviewed, C++ <a href="libs/libraries.htm">libraries</a>.
|
|
The emphasis is on portable libraries which work well with the C++ Standard
|
|
Library.</p>
|
|
<p><a href="more/lib_guide.htm">Library Requirements and Guidelines</a> and <a href="more/submission_process.htm">Library
|
|
Submission Process</a> provides basic information for library authors.</p>
|
|
<p>If you are interested in who writes the libraries and maintains the web site,
|
|
check out <a href="people/people.htm">people</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>The <a href="more/faq.htm">FAQ</a> answers questions we hope someone will
|
|
bother to ask.</p>
