Learning C++ Templates [closed]

Question

Can anyone recommend any good resources for learning C++ Templates?

Many thanks.

Answer 1

I've found cplusplus.com to be helpful on numerous occasions. Looks like they've got a pretty good intro to templates.

If its an actual book you're looking for, Effective C++ is a classic with a great section on templates.

Answer 2

I recomned that you get C++ Templates - The Complete Guide it's an excellent resource and reference.

Answer 3

This is a more advanced, but very useful, book on templates and template use.

Modern C++ Design

Answer 4

Bruce Eckel's Thinking in C++ is how I learned about templates. The first volume has an introductory chapter and the second volume has an in-depth chapter on templates.

There's Bjarne Stroustrop's The C++ Programming Language which has a good chapter on them. And The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference which is about the standard library, but would definitely help you get a better understanding of how templates could be used in the real world. .
