Course Overview
Illuminating neglected, misunderstood, and misused shades of Templates in C++
Most C++ programmers stay away from C++ templates due to their perplexed nature. The excuses against templates:
- Hard to learn and adapt.
- Compiler errors are vague, and very long
- Not worth the effort.
As a result, beginning and advanced C++ programmers alike are finding themselves wrestling with templates, attempting to decide why their
code is handled unexpectedly.
Although templates have been part of C++ for well over two decade, they still lead to misunderstanding, misuse, or controversy. At the same time, they are increasingly found to be powerful instruments for the development of cleaner, faster, and smarter software. Indeed, templates have become the cornerstone of several new C++ programming paradigms.

Teaching methodology is excellent using animation as in case of earlier courses of C and C++ language courses. As the title suggests, teacher is trying to demystifying concepts of templates in C++. The course is not extensive however definitely must for beginner C++ programmer to clear doubts and queries of templates in C++. Would recommend to anyone who wants to know overview of generic programming in C++.

Very basic level, the course created according to the book of David Vandevoorde about templates. No info about new C++ standards (C++ 11 and newer). No info about type_traits, metaprogramming, SFINAE
