Introduction to C++ Templates
- C++ templates are a powerful mechanism for code reuse, as they enable the programmer to write code that behaves the same for data of any type.

"Export" Restrictions, Part 2
- Takes a look at the current state of export and offers some advice on using export effectively.
- http://www.ddj.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=184401584

"Export" Restrictions, Part 1
- Explains what export is, and how it's intended to be used. Also looks at the problems export is widely assumed to address, and why it does not in fact address them the way most people think.

Template Metaprogramming
- With template metaprogramming the compiler acts as a virtual computer, emitting code optimized for a specific purpose or environment.

Templates for Efficient Dynamic Type Checking
- Presents a handy template that makes it easy to check casts without losing performance.

Befriending Templates
- Looks at why befriending a template in another namespace is easier said (in the standard) than done (using real-world compilers that don't quite get the Standard right).

Typed Buffers, Part 2
- This article does not treat buffers directly, but rather two operations that are commonly performed with buffers: filling a buffer with a value and copying between buffers and various containers.
- http://www.ddj.com/dept/cpp/184403799

Typed Buffers, Part 1
- This article treats memory buffers in C++, but with two twists: first, the buffers are generic, which means they can contain typed data. Second, the buffers are as efficient as their hosted type and the host operating system allows, in every aspect.

A Deeper Look at Metafunctions
- This article investigates the use of metafunctions in template metaprogramming, and introduces the Boost Metaprogramming Library. It is an excerpt from the book, C++ Template Metaprogramming by David Abrahams and Aleksey Gurtovoy.

C++ Templates: Metaprograms
- Nicolai M. Josuttis and David Vandevoorde examine metaprogramming, or "programming a program." Learn how to lay out code that the programming system executes to generate new code that implements the functionality you really want.

Templates and Inheritance Interacting in C++
- Discover the interesting ways that templates and inheritance interact by taking a close look at named template arguments, the Empty Base Class Optimization (EBCO), the Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (CRTP), and parameterized virtuality.
