Thank you all. I will familiarize myself with the Boost and I will choose an 
area of interest to me after going through the documentations thoroughly.
Thanks Shayne , Steve and Edward for the advice for a newbie like me. Glad to 
be a part of this community.

Dilshan.

        Dilshan,

        Your request is quite general. Without specifics, it's hard for anyone here 
to
        give any more detailed advice other than what has already been offered.

        As was suggested previously by myself and others, please consult the
        documentation for getting started. Come up with a goal on what you want to
        accomplish with your coding project and then dive in. That's the best way to
        learn.

        For example, let's suppose I want to write some code that allows for two
        processes to communicate with each other on the same machine. The shared
        memory paradigm is something that comes to mind. In light of this, I would
        want to dig in and learn about Boost.Interprocess and see what it has to
        offer. I can guarantee that you will learn a lot about this library after
        you've completed your task. This is but one of a myriad of libraries that
        Boost has to offer.

        Come up with an objective in mind, pick a Boost library, and dig in...

        Good luck.

        Shayne

        Thank you Shayne. I wanted to try Boost to enhance my coding abilities in C++
        and learn the process of optimizing simultaneously. With that in mind, can 
you
        direct me? Thank you.

        Dilshan.

                Boost is deep and broad. Where you start will depend on what you want 
to do
                with the libraries.

                Depending on what you're wanting to accomplish, I would suggest 
looking at
        the
                pertinent documentation for starting out.

                Hi all,
                         I'm a new member to C++ boost and I have a fairly good 
knowledge in
                programming in C++. I'm very much excited to join this group and I 
need
                directions from the senior members on how to start myself. Please 
help me
                here. Thanks in advance.

                regards,
                DilSHAN.
