Hi Arkadiy and David,

FWIW, I agree with Arkadiy about Andrei's book being easier as an introduction for TMP. It shows some metaprogramming tricks which helps building complete solutions for day-to-day problems.

Hmm, most of the problems solved in MC++D don't seem like day-to-day issues to me.

And that really impresses and makes people want to learn a lot more about the subject.

I see. Well, maybe we'll rewrite C++TMP as a 2-3 volume set and include some more of the low-level stuff in the beginning.

Like him I read Andrei's book before C++ Template Programming,

Unfortunately, it isn't really ever possible for them to compare one person's experience of starting with both. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
