TMB (Template Model Builder) is an R package for fitting statistical latent variable models to data. It is inspired by ADMB. Unlike most other R packages the model is formulated in C++. This provides great flexibility, but requires some familiarity with the C/C++ programming language.

These pages describes the C++ part of TMB. The R part is documented via the ordinary R help system.
