The documentation for libevent 2.0 isn't easy to understand. Can anyone point me to a tutorial?

http://www.wangafu.net/~nickm/libevent-book/

is a great tutorial on libevent, with loads of examples. As a bonus, it's written by Nick Mathewson, one of the two maintainers of the libevent project.

For bufferevents, you can look at the basics as well as the advanced bits.

    Ah - this is the documentation i was referring to... would you say it was a tutorial? have you tried and tested it yourself - it wasn't really that clear to me. – BeeBand Aug 31 '11 at 11:16

    This site is what I used to learn how libevent works. I still don't understand everything, but it's better than anything else out there, and got me to the point where I can use libevent and know how most of it works. Have you bothered reading the bufferevent pages? There are at least 3 example programs - in particular, the watermark example and basic http client example. – Peter Downs Sep 04 '11 at 18:57
