I like Meyer's Object Oriented Software Construction for OOP in general.

Don't forget my [link|http://www.geocities.com/tablizer/meyer1.htm|OOSC2 Critique] "companion guide". Otherwise, they might start believing that those fscking shape examples map to real world design issues.

New Very Academic...
My problem OO Software Construction by Bertrand Meyer was that it was way too academic.

Unfortunately, I have to solve real world problems in "real time", so I don't have time to go through a 1300 page theory book on OO.

The best materials I have are a few training manuals, with the right structure, the right questions to ask, etc. that a former employee left in a cube I was instructed to clean out. About 200 pages of clear, concise instructions OO, how to do test cases, how to ask is a/has a questions, how to build the classes in C++.

In about a day, I knew exactly what to do. I've had it for 9 years now, and refer back to it every time I have to do this stuff from scratch again (which isn't very often).

Ashton'd best cease derision; egregious fumblings garner hatred in judgemental klans. Lest matters natter on (precipitating quagmires), raconteur Scott transliterates umpteen verbs. Wordwright Xanadu, your zIWETHEY. Accordingly, blithely calling due eclectic, freewheeling games heedlessly invites jabber. Kenning LRPD meanings necessitates occasional, personal, quiet ruminations. Such thoughts unleash virtually wanton xenophilic yearnings: Zen Achieved.
