A guide to common C++ template

techniques

This book is for those whose knowledge of templates is a little

hazy. It attempts to give a quick templates 101 without using too

much unfamiliar jargon. It assumes that you know the syntax of

C++, without templates.

Eighty-eight templates to use as is or modify to suit your

application.

In using these examples, you will learn a little more about how

templates can be used to improve your code.

It is intended for C++ programmers who would like to leverage

the power of templates in their code but would not consider

themselves fully familiar with them. You may have just used the

procedural and object-orientated features of C++ but never

ventured into the realm of templates. You may also be a C

programmer who is looking to move (willing or not) to using C++

and have heard a lot of scare stories about templates. You may

even be a recent convert to C++ but have been writing in a ‘C with

Classes’ style.

If so, this book is for you.

It will give you a kick-start into the realm of templates and avoid

some of the research and head-scratching I’ve had to go through

to get this far myself.

All of the templates in this book require the use of C++11 or greater.
