Modern C++ Design

Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design Patterns Applied is a book written by <a href="/facts/Andrei_Alexandrescu/4rzNtl54">Andrei Alexandrescu</a>, published in 2001 by <a href="/facts/Addison-Wesley/A7UFATEG">Addison-Wesley</a>. It has been regarded as "one of the most important C++ books" by <a href="/facts/Scott_Meyers/7lEPrl3A">Scott Meyers</a>.
The book makes use of and explores a <a href="/facts/C%2B%2B/Et0F2qn9">C++</a> programming technique called <a href="/facts/Template_metaprogramming/yybwJ7AN">template metaprogramming</a>. While Alexandrescu didn't invent the technique, he has popularized it among programmers. His book contains solutions to practical problems which C++ programmers may face. Several phrases from the book are now used within the C++ community as generic terms: modern C++ (as opposed to C/C++ style), policy-based design and typelist.
All of the code described in the book is freely available in his library <a href="/facts/Loki_(C%2B%2B)/u7EL1aFL">Loki</a>. The book has been republished and translated into several languages since 2001.
