CRC Press
Patterns, Models, and Application Development, a new book from two experts in C++, integrates a methodology for program development and covers three main categories: object modeling as a program design tool, design patterns and their modeling in C++ language structures, and a discussion of the implementation of PC hardware-related features. It addresses the gap between the ability to code and the ability to program.
