Re: Teaching OO

Responding to Gunnar G...

I'm looking for ideas for a OO programing course with C++.
I need some good examples of programs that one can write that are not to big
(a few hundred up to a thousand lines) is alright, but still feels
meaningful.

Assuming from the message title that you are going to be teaching the basic OO paradigm to novices, then I agree with O'Leary -- C++ is a terrible place to start. In fact, I would argue that one needs to understand OOA/D first before going near /any/ OOPL. But if you are going there, then Smalltalk is probably the best choice.

Any books, internet references you can give me? 

The Books category of my blog has some suggestions for OOA/D books.
