I have finally bought a modern OOA\/D book: Craig Larman, “Applying UML and Patterns”<\/a>). Martin Fowler<\/a> recommends it as a good OO book in his “Patterns of Enterprise Applications Architecture<\/a>“, and I tend to trust Martin’s opinion on this one.<\/p>\n

I really like the book so far: e.g. it explains the difference between the A and the D right away, which is a good thing. It also has many catchy phrases like do the right thing (analysis) and do the thing right (design)<\/i> which, while may be being obscure, help to remember the essence of the material.<\/p>\n
