What You'll Learn

Define and use function templates with correct parameterization, overloading, and explicit type specification
Build class templates using alias templates, method templates, and inheritance to create reusable generic types
Apply type, non-type, and template-template parameters to design templates with flexible compile-time inputs
Use template argument deduction and default arguments to instantiate function and class templates effectively
Implement primary, partial, and full specializations and predict compiler selection among specializations
Develop variadic templates with fold expressions and perfect forwarding to process arbitrary argument packs
Constrain templates with C++ type traits, constexpr/constexpr if, and C++20 concepts for safer generic code

About this course

WHY I WROTE THIS COURSE

Templates are one of the many powerful features of Modern C++ programming. And with each new C++ standard, they become more important. Templates provide an efficient way to make your code more flexible and reusable, this way you can avoid repeating code that would otherwise be identical except for different types. Templates also give you the ability to provide abstraction without a performance penalty. However, templates can be difficult to apply, can be counterintuitive, and have tricky error messages. This course gives you the necessary information to overcome these hurdles and dive into the advanced topics. You’ll visit the basics such as function and class templates, and then explore the details to templates such as instantiation and fold expressions. Our journey also includes techniques based on templates, the design, and future directions of templates such as concepts. Based on this exhaustive tour of templates, a basic understanding of C++ is sufficient to master this course. Let’s get started!

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.
