Agreed. It is a nice intro to help you get your feet wet. > What a good book generally provides, as opposed to a set of wikis, is > that a person with a vision takes the reader by the hand and leads them > onto path where understanding basic concepts just falls in place, > anticipating questions as they come. > > This requires talent. Very few people can do it properly. Indeed it does. That's why TPR is so valuable. Investing dozens of man hours into writing an article is less risky than investing thousands of man hours into writing a book, yet the readers of both are still benefited. Maybe there should an informal RFC from the POE user base: what topic(s) would you most like to see in a TPR article? Perhaps there is a potential author out there (who doesn't know that he is a potential author) who has real-world experience with a popular POE subject. Just a thought... -MC
