It may surprise you to know Uncle Bob has written C++ design books as well. ;-) There are lots of books on C++ design that focus particularly on the semantics of contracts that are comparatively unique to C++ (Sutter, Meyers, Alexandrescu, and Abrams all have a pretty established following). Indeed, I'd argue C++ is one of the few languages where you really need to read a lot of the supporting literature before you are much of a useful coder.
