- I think Booch above is an excellent book for what you want. It begins
- with the most definitive study of fundamental oo concepts. Such a study
- is, imo, the key to good oo analysis and design over the long run. Being
- a good/great oo engineer begins here. All the rest of proper oo analysis
- and design builds off of this.
-
- Next the whole development process methodology/method is addressed. This
- is more important for system and subsystem architects, and sw
- management. But a broad minded junior programmer will find much
- practical info for further mind expansion here.
-
- Finally, it ends with 5 case studies of oo design using C++. The first
- specifies at least 80% of the code needed. The others mainly specify C++
- class and subsystem interfaces which are the key approach to proper C++ oo
- design in the first place.
-
- Booch's OOA&D should be the basis from which all oo developers start.
- But given Booch's C++ case studies it is a perfect place for the above
- mentioned "TARGET" to start, imo.
