Mentalray shader writing

[wix]

just to know how many people here are writing C++ MR shaders inside xsi to see if it's worth asking questions here.
I'm starting from scratch and the docs are quite poor.
I think that what I need are explanations of basic concepts
and find the more docs or tuts that exists around.

have you got the programming & rendering with mental ray books?
