Good OO method design

Clear description of modeling OO with a lot of tricks. Helpfull in moving from C to C++ world.

It's not a book about UML !!!!!

It's not a book covering UML. Moreover readers will just find a few paragraphs about UML. Otherwise it's a very good book talking about mapping OOAD notations to C++. It covers the whole of OOAD's notations and give C++ examples of implementation. Authors use abundantly Class-Responsibility-Collaboration (CRC) cards and not UML notations. Sometimes it's really hard to read; more explanations were necessary. I recommend this book for advanced C++ users, wanting to benefit by advice ( recommended approaches ) from big men as R. C. Lee and W. M. Tepfenhart.

Very good book on OOA & D...

I agree with other reviewers. This book only occasionally mentioned UML. But I found this book to be an excellent book on OOA & D(with C++, not Java or other strange things like Effiel). That's why I still give it four stars. Covers both conceptual and practical aspects very well. A perfect doorway to the OO world(maybe a little overstating).

OOA & D using C++ is probably a more fitting title

I don't why this book is named UML and C++. From the title I expected a detailed description of UML. But it is all about Object Oriented Analysis and Design and how to implement it using C++. The authors use UML to document their designs but there is not even a chapter detailing UML. If you are looking for a book to find out about UML go somewhere else. But if you are trying to learn about OOA & D and using C++ to implement object oriented designs, this is a very good book. This is probably better than most books about object oriented design in C++.
