satisfied by this documentation, we've collected a few references
to other resources that we think you are likely to fancy. Most
notably, a book named "<aclass="reference"href="http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0321227255"target="_top">C++ Template Metaprogramming: Concepts,
Tools, and Techniques from Boost and Beyond</a>" by David Abrahams
and Aleksey Gurtovoy is considered to be the most authoritative and
up-do-date treatment of the subject as of today. The tutorial
included with this documentation is in fact an excerpt from this
work.</p>
<p>Other notable book resources include Andrei Alexandrescu's "<aclass="reference"href="http://www.awprofessional.com/title/0201704315"target="_top">Modern C++ Design: Generic
Programming and Design Patterns Applied</a>", in which
Andrei explorers the appication of C++ metaprogramming techniques to implementing
highly reusable and configurable generic designs, and "<aclass="reference"href="http://www.josuttis.com/tmplbook/"target="_top">C++ Templates - The
Complete Guide</a>", by David Vandevoorde and Nicolai M. Josuttis — <em>the</em> book
on the details and workings of the C++ template system.</p>
