Hi,
I am new to this list and saw the messages related to traits and policies.
I am an experienced C++ developer but have a limited knowledge of the STL and even less of boost - I've joined this list in an effort to become more familiar.
I understand policy classes but am not very familiar with traits.
Can someone recommend a link for me to follow so I can better understand what they are as well as when, why and how to use them.
