ThingTemplase allow Inheritance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inheritance_(object-oriented_programming) allowig you to create a template with predefined proerties and methods.


Consider the example in the Training material;  I you were deploying drinks vending machines all of those machines would have similar characteristics  (number of flavours, location) and services (methods in Java).  By using a template you can create all these properties one and then use them many times.
