Re: [Quantlib-dev] Teaching myself Quantlib

Hi Rasheed,
    one exercise could be to implement a simple option; that would
make you familiar with instruments and pricing engines and give you an
overview of the library design.  If you happen to have Haug's book,
for example, there's plenty of such options with a simple analytic
formula. For a description of the framework and an example, you can
read chapter 2 at <http://sites.google.com/site/luigiballabio/qlbook>.
 Do write here if you get stuck.

Later,
    Luigi
