which is more important to learn design patterns or templates
I wanted to know which is better use of my time learning design patterns or templates. i have design patterns elements of reusable object oriented software. and so far its a good read but templates kinda interest me more. I know there are some antipattern folks so i dont want to start a war but as a beginner which would be more useful to me.
There are still tons of other things im learning still but i like to jump around to keep it interesting.

Design patterns aren't exactly a built-in feature of C++, however I find it tricky to deny the fact that they're useful. :)
Templates are built-in feature of C++, and are important to know if you want to understand all of what C++ offers.
My vote is that you go with templates first, then learn the full extent of what you can do with C++'s classes, EDIT: but I'm not putting one over the other in terms of importance.
