Explore network programming in C++ with a focus on object serialization and transmission using Boost.Asio and Boost.Serialization libraries in this comprehensive conference talk from CppNow. Learn design patterns for handling complex C++ constructs, including polymorphic objects, in networking code. Discover techniques for expressing C++ objects as byte sequences for transmission and reconstruction across network endpoints. Gain insights into buffer management, streams, interprocess communication, and Infiniband. Delve into topics such as serialization of derived classes, active messaging, data structures, and asynchronous operations. Examine runtime execution, threading, and parallelism concepts, including Boost.Context, global address space, and MPI. Ideal for programmers interested in or familiar with network programming, seeking to expand their knowledge of Boost libraries for robust C++ networking solutions.
