Better functors with boost

Today I read about boost::bind

It replaces the old STL function/functor binders (although lamda functions are a better replacement when composing/nesting several layers of binders). The improvement over the old binders is that (by way of better deduction) the new binder is less picky about the function/functor type, it can bind to any function/functor with up to 9 arguments, and the order of the arguments can be rearranged when binding. Bind is now part of the TR1 of the C++0x standard.

Here is a article and tutorial about boost::bind by Björn Karlsson: “How the Boost Bind Library Can Improve Your C++ Programs”.  The article is from the book “Beyond the C++ Standard Library: An Introduction to Boost” I’m tempted to buy the book, although I first have to finish a couple of other C++ books im reading.
