This is a 6-part video series entitled C++ Models by Dr. James Fawcett. Each video describes different conceptual models underlying the C++ programming language. Discussion with exemplars is used to illustrate how the models apply to aspects of the language for effective use. In this series, eight fundamental models are covered: Code Structure, Compilation, Program Execution, Use of Memory, Classes, Object Model, and Templates.

Part 3 of this 6-part video series discusses the memory model paradigm, and foundational concepts behind the usage of memory: static, stack, and heap. The Class Model is described using illustrations of the relationships between code residing in static memory, and instances of objects in stack memory.
