Hi there.

I've been programming for almost 10 years - most of the time embedded
systems, C/C++. Done some OO too, but I realised I did it in a very
primitive way. Let's say I don't think much in the OO way.

My question is: could you recommend me 2-3-4 *very* good books on
OOD/OOA?

I'm appaled at the amount of information (books/articles) one can find
(because quantity means also waste of time) and I want to go to the
sources. So, other than the classic "Design Patterns", what other
books would be helpful? Again, I'm looking for those books that would
trigger that "Aha!!" we experience when we suddenly see the tricks and
not the "Learn OO in one week" type. A book that gives examples from
real technical projects (I'll be working in banking) would be nice
because I want to see things applied to the real world.

Many thanks.

Adrian
