Now extensively updated for the C++11, C++14, and C++17
standards, this new edition presents state-of-the-art techniques
for a wider spectrum of applications. The authors provide
authoritative explanations of all new language features that
either improve templates or interact with them, including
variadic templates, generic lambdas, class template argument
deduction, compile-time if, forwarding references, and
user-defined literals. They also deeply delve into fundamental
language concepts (like value categories) and fully cover all
standard type traits.

The book starts with an insightful tutorial on basic concepts and
relevant language features. The remainder of the book serves as a
comprehensive reference, focusing first on language details and
then on coding techniques, advanced applications, and
sophisticated idioms. Throughout, examples clearly illustrate
abstract concepts and demonstrate best practices for exploiting
all that C++ templates can do.
