Recommendation on Books for Designing Classes/etc.. in C++

<<split from C++ Book Recommendations>>

Hello,


I need recommendation on books for designing classes/etc.. in C++.
I have couple of books from the above list, but i need some guidance on how to approach a particular problem and model that into classes/member functions etc..

TIA,
Raahi.

Have the same problem. I always struggle with design.

I bought Addison Wesley's Design Patterns Explained, A New Perspective on Object-Oriented Design. But also have been hearing good things about "Head First, Design Patterns."

I'm having a somewhat hard time digesting the one I bought. You may want to consider, OReily's Head First.

The Gang of Four's Design Patterns (Gamma, Helm, Johnson, Vlissides) is the book on design patterns. I'm not sure how effective it would be at giving help on a particular situation, but it would probably give you enough information to help you figure it out.

I knew there was some other book I was forgetting. When I bought Design Patterns Explained I looked all over for this some other book I couldn't remember. And this was it, after all. Bummer!

Thanks for the tip Daved. I guess I will have to shell out some more. Learning C++ is not cheap. And being silly inside a bookstore dosn't help any.
