As Ali said, there is a chapter of his D book about templates: http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/templates.html And I wrote a document on templates (I call it a tutorial): https://github.com/PhilippeSigaud/D-templates-tutorial/blob/master/dtemplates.pdf I saw someone said it skips too fast to over the easy stuff. Should I say more on the first chapters?
