As an out of band Windows 8 post for many of us C++ is somewhat a hidden shame, but not really a shame just hidden out of sight while we dream of closer to the metal coding.

With the joys of Windows 8, C++ is once again back to the fore, I thought a couple of notes on how to get things moving might help

Boostis regarded as one of the best written and comprehensive libraries for C++

covering areas such as Math and Numeric, String processing (what library would be complete without), Generics, Algorithms and more

The only downside is it is a collection of very useful code but like all good libraries you will need to learn it.

Boost is fully useable in Windows 8
