POCO C++ Libraries: Why POCO?

Ten Reasons Why You Should Consider POCO For Your C++ Project

1. You are looking for something that resembles the Java class libraries or the .NET Framework, but has been made specifically for C++.
2. You are looking for class libraries that are easy to use and which do not require a huge learning effort to get you started.
3. You prefer readable, easily understandable code over sophisticated and overly complicated C++ puzzles that challenge your compiler, yourself and your coworkers.
4. You are looking for class libraries with a clean code base that is not contaminated by thousands of #ifdef's for supporting some obscure obsolete platforms you've never heard about.
5. You are looking for consistency in design, coding style and documentation.
6. You want to get things done.
7. You don't want to re-invent the wheel (we have done that for you).
8. You care about your work.
9. You love C++.
10. You want C++ programming to be fun again.
