- A very good book is the book by Booch on OOD/OOA , examples are done
- in C++, this book do not teach C++ per say, it teaches OOA/OOD but
- uses C++ as the tool to express the implementations of the ideas.
- Any good tech book store should have it, just ask for the OO book
- by Booch, it is second edtion, not sure now what the exact title is, it
- is 1994 edition.
-
- You also need the C++ programming language book, second edition by
- Stroustrup, as a language reference. I also like the book "design and
- evolution (sp?) of C++" by Stroustrup, This book gives insight about
- some of the reasoning behind the design of C++, I have just started
- reading this few days ago, and it is pretty good, it talks about some of
- the new things being considered to go into the C++ ansi standard such
- as auto pointers, dynamic type identification, the new different ways of
- doing casting and how they are used etc..
