Fundamentally, it demonstrates generic patterns or pattern templates as a powerful new way of creating extensible designs in C++--a new way to combine templates and patterns that you may never have dreamt was possible, but is. If your work involves C++ design and coding, you should read this book. Highly recommended.-Herb Sutter-Modern C++ Design is an important book.
