[Phlip]

Hi , can anyone recommend a good OO book for a beginner.

/Design Patterns/
/Refactoring/
/Test Driven Development/
/Refactoring to Patterns/

Is the Grady Booch book any good?

No. OO is not about philosophy, it's about reducing the clutter in your
program. Booch hearkens to an era of sophistries that our industry has
grown beyond.

I assume that you're looking to take the Booch connection on to C++:
Designing Object Oriented C++ Applications Using The Booch Method by
Robert Cecil Martin.

I bought a book nearly 10 years ago called UML and C++: A Practical
Guide to Object-Oriented Development, By Richard C. Lee, William M.
Tepfenhart, which I thought wasn't bad. IIRC a second edition was
published a few years later.

Unfortunately, I have that book too and I think it is atrocious. The book
title is extremely misleading, it is mostly about C++ and very little about
UML, I already knew C++ and wanted to know about the interaction of C++ with
UML. No joy at all. .
