Depends which bit you're trying to use it for. Searching for a boost tutorial is like trying to search for a tutorial for the standard C library. It doesn't really work like that.

OK perhaps I should say looking for example uses that dont make some Boost libs look like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist other than ideologically. There's a lot of 'you do it like this' but no 'why you don't do it like that' which for me is often the clue to the whole thing. I should perhaps say I'm coming back to C++ after a long absence using other OO languages, and I'm finding it the ugliest of the lot- barring PHP I guess.
