  <h3>Modeling and Programming with Gecode</h3>

  <p>
    <a href="{{ '/doc/' | append: GECODEDOCSTAMP | append: '/MPG.pdf' | relative_url }}">Modeling and Programming with Gecode</a>
    provides comprehensive documentation of how to model and program with Gecode.
  </p>

  <p>
    The first part of the document explains modeling and solving
    constraint problems with Gecode. It explains how to program,
    compile, link, and execute these models. It provides an
    overview of integer, Boolean, and set variables and
    constraints, modeling support, search, and Gist. This is
    complemented by a comprehensive collection of case studies
    of how to model with Gecode.
  </p>

  <p>
    The remaining, more advanced, parts are about programming with
    Gecode. They explain in great detail and with numerous
    examples the concepts and techniques for programming
    constraints, branchings, search engines, and new variable
    types with Gecode. The parts' coverage puts users on par with
    Gecode's developers.
