My "Aha!" Moment for O-O Programming

Even if you don't know C++ or use the Booch method, this is the best work I've read on how to engineer software systems. The principles presented in this book apply regardless of computer language or design notation. And, while the book is geared to O-O, those priciples, I think, apply to software design in general. When you finish this book you will think "Of course! Why would you do it any other way?!". Despite over 20 years experience is software design and programming (including 10 in O-O), this book was the "Aha!" moment that made me truely understand how to design and build software systems. I can't reccommend it highly enough. Now, if Martin would just do the same book using Java and UML...

Excellent book for OO/C++

This is the best book I ever read in practical OO/C++ programming, it give the code instead of the text for the principle of the OO design and implementation.

Excellent!

This should be the "second book" you read on OO design, after any of the introductory books.Martin's lucid writing painlessly introduces the reader to "real world" OO analysis and design. The use of iterative design, exploiting the tension between static and dynamic modelling is explained beautifully with detailed examples.Buy,buy,buy!!!

Essential, thorough and immensely pracitcal guide to OOD

I have used this book in the years since it was first pubished and have reccommended it on numerous occasions. It tackles the chasm that seperates idealistic design from realistic implementation. I refer to it no matter which OO design methodology I am using, no matter which OO language a system is being implemented in. I have found that the difference between the designs of people who exercise the principles of this book and those who don't are noticeable - especially during the design of large systems

By far, the best OO book I've read to date.

A must have for anyone doing OOA and OOD! If you are programming in any strongly typed OO language you owe it to yourself to read this book. Truly excellent!
