- Go to a super bookstore and peruse its shelves. Just stand there
- marvel, and take it all in.
-
- While you are there check out Object-Oriented Analysis and Design by Grady
- Booch, and Timothy Budd's Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming for
- oo fundamentals. Read either of these for the better expositions of the
- most important fundamentals of oo analysis and design. This is where it
- all begins on the oo journey, especially for those wanting to program in
- C++. So get it right from start with one of these books. (Edge to Booch,
- imo, but hey, why not read both? Seriously.)
-
- For whatever oopl you want to use, peruse the shelves to find the book you
- feel most comfortable with.
