Platform Independent Development

30 November 2007


In one of our re-engineering projects we came across this nice library called Boost. Although for most part our development uses Win 32 APIs or Microsoft Platform SDK, we saw some value in going through the Boost libraries. These libraries can help make your application platform independent. The advantage is, do it one the hard way using boost, but then the same code works on Mac, Linux,Microsoft and Unix.

We are going to keep Boost on our radar for some time, and see if we can leverage it in our development projects.
