C++ actually has two axes; 1) Paradigm axis (i.e. Procedural, Object-Oriented, Generic, Compile-time and Functional) and 2) Usage axis (i.e. Low-level bare-metal, Kernel, Library, Application). Every feature has an ideal application at the intersection of these two axes. Another way to look at it is how best to map concepts from the Problem-domain directly onto language features. Here techniques like Commonality/Variability analysis (bedrock of DDD, Patterns etc.) are used to express concepts using specific language features and then combine those into a coherent design. Most of the above design ideas are found only in pre Modern C++ books. I don't know of any newer books which actually teach multi-paradigm design using Modern C++. So you will have to read the older books and then think about how you would map the same ideas into Modern C++.

Modern C++: 1) Functional Programming in C++: How to improve your C++ programs using functional techniques by Ivan Cukic.
