Generative programming is a style of computer programming that uses automated source code creation through generic classes, templates, aspects, and code generators to improve programmer productivity. It is often related to code-reuse topics such as component-oriented programming. The classic book on the topic is Generative Programming: Methods, Tools, and Applications by Krzysztof Czarnecki and Ulrich W. Eisenecker, Addison Wesley, 2000.
