I'm trying to make my way around the Common C++ library but I have to say I'm getting confused by a lot of it. Is there any documentation that is less terse, or has more examples than the reference manual? I've found the demo directory but I'm in need of more of a gentle start.

<p>You can count me among the masses clamouring to understand this thing ;) -- I found that the demo program for the chat program got me half way to my application in about 20 minutes, but I have been now a full day wrestling with TTYSession and getting nowhere fast. If I can make a request, can we collect more demos to illustrate the use of more of the components? If I can get my simple serial-port/stdio test program working, I'd be happy to donate it.</p>
<p>Another possibility for quickly generating docs for this project is to use the WikiWiki software. I currently have Wiki's running on our sourceforge projects, and if the admins here are interested, I would be happy to clone one of them into the common c++ site; you can see Wiki in action at

Has anything come of this? I'm looking for some good examples. The documentation that comes with CommonC++ looks to be a great reference if you know how it all works but not for somebody starting out into the networking world.

As far as threading goes, the framework is pretty standard. You might want to look at Python Threading.Thread class docs in the Python library reference, or Java threading (the version where they inherit from Thread). CC++ Event (my new favourite) has an equivalent in Python with the same name. Just go to

Oops ... sorry about the HTML in that :)
I am not immediately familiar with Wiki but I would be happy to look at it and see if we can use it here as well...

CC++ uses somewhat different method names, but the idea is the same - and you can go on with the CC++ references from there.
