"Export" Restrictions, Part 1 - http://www.ddj.com/cpp/184401563
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.

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

A Deeper Look at Metafunctions - http://www.artima.com/cppsource/metafunctions.html
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.

An Improved Variant Type Based on Member Templates - http://www.ddj.com/cpp/184401293
This article presents the class variant_t, which encapsulates a mechanism to hold values of arbitrary types.

An Introduction to Variadic Templates in C++0x - http://www.devx.com/cplus/Article/41533
Introduces the syntax for declaring and using variadic templates, along with some simple examples of variadic function templates and variadic class templates.

Befriending Templates - http://www.ddj.com/cpp/184403853
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).

C++ Templates FAQ - http://womble.decadentplace.org.uk/c++/template-faq.html
Covers advanced template topics and compiler specific issues.

C++ Templates: Metaprograms - http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=30667
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.

Compiling Templates - http://dobbscodetalk.com/index.php?option=com_myblog&show=Compiling-Templates.html&Itemid=29
Tries to shed at least a little light on how templates work by looking at how the are handled in the C++ compiler.

Gnarly New C++ Language Features - http://www.cantrip.org/gnarly.html
Description and examples about some newer C++ template features which are now broadly supported by the compilers.

http://www.cantrip.org/traits.html - http://www.cantrip.org/traits.html
A new and useful template technique that radically simplifies the interface to class templates instantiable on native C++ types.

Introduction to C++ Templates - http://www.justsoftwaresolutions.co.uk/articles/intrototemplates.pdf
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.

Multiple Dispatch: A New Approach Using Templates and RTTI - http://www.eptacom.net/pubblicazioni/pub_eng/mdisp.html
This article focuses on two new techniques based on templates and Run Time Type Identification (RTTI).

Templates and Inheritance Interacting in C++ - http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=31473
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.

Templates for Efficient Dynamic Type Checking - http://www.ddj.com/cpp/184403724
Presents a handy template that makes it easy to check casts without losing performance.

Typed Buffers, Part 1 - http://www.ddj.com/cpp/184403791
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.

Typed Buffers, Part 2 - http://www.ddj.com/cpp/184403799
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.

Using Template Functions to Customize Library Behavior - http://www.ddj.com/cpp/184401370
Looks at function templates and how they can be used to provide hooks for customizing behavior.
