&gt; Another must-buy for O-O design zealots is "Design Patterns :
&gt; Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" written by Gamma,
&gt; Vlissides, Johnson and Helm (incidentially, these four are called
&gt; Gang of Four or GoF for short). 

An absolute must-have.  Utterly wonderful, and amazingly humbling.
Don't expect to understand it on the first reading.  The authors
didn't claim to understand it as they wrote it (see the preface).  

&gt; This is a comprehensive catalog of extremely useful design
&gt; techniques (or "patterns" as the authors call them) for common
&gt; problems when writing O-O software.

I find that just browsing the book when I'm stuck trying to think of a 
useful algorithmic approach to a problem will alsmost always ping a
good idea loose.

Note:  There is also a gang-of-four mailing list, as well as a
siemens-patterns mailing list.  Iv'e been on both for quite a while
now (as a lurker).  They're meaty and signal filled.  I hope to have
archives of both lists up on Kanga.Nu RSN.
