would you recommend to learn practical OO design and development
concepts?  I have been mostly a C programmer so far in my career
with knowledge of C++. I rely on C++ mostly for the convenience
STL provides and I hardly ever focus on good design practices.
As I have started to look for a new job position, this bad habit
of mine has come back to haunt me. During the interviews, I have
been asked to design a problem (like chess, or some other
scenario) using OOP and I doing really badly at that (I came to
know this through feedback from one interview).  I tried to
google stuff and came up with so many opinions and related books
that I don't know where to begin. I need a good through
introduction to OOP design with which I can learn practical
design, not just theory.  Can you point me to any book which
meets my requirements? I prefer C++, but any other language is
fine as long as I can pick-up good practices.  Also, I know that
books can only go so far
