WebSocket++ code is available on github at https://github.com/zaphoyd/websocketpp The official project homepage lives at http://www.zaphoyd.com/websocketpp

The git repository is organized into several directories:

- docs: This documentation
- examples: Example programs that demonstrate how to build basic versions of some commonly used patterns for WebSocket clients and servers.
- test: Unit tests that confirm that the code you have works properly and help detect platform specific issues.
- tutorials: Detailed walkthroughs of a select set of the example programs.
- websocketpp: All of the library code and default configuration files.

WebSocket++ is a header only library. You can start using it by including the websocketpp source directory in your project's include path and including the appropriate WebSocket++ headers in your program. You may also need to include and/or link to appropriate Boost/system libraries. TODO: More information: Building a program with WebSocket++, Walkthroughs of the example programs

WebSocket++ includes cmake and scons scripts for building the examples and unit tests. Neither system is needed unless you want to build tests or examples in an automated fashion.

Usage questions should be posted to the project mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/websocketpp/ or the IRC channel (#websocketpp on freenode).

Bugs and issues should be posted to the project GitHub issues queue: https://github.com/zaphoyd/websocketpp/issues.

Pull requests on GitHub are welcome. Please make them against the develop branch.
