I've seen the light and am sold on the object oriented world. I'm smart enough about it to sound smart and do some good things, but still dumb enough not to know the right way to do things or the best way to apprach the problem. I'm confortable working with Flex, controls, data, components, etc.
Where I'm falling short is the vision and strategy on designing the app and its objects to play nicely, communicate with each other, and provide the best flexibility. Can anyone recommend a list of books (or videos, etc.) for learning OOP, Design Patterns, Application Design, etc? I'd really like something that will help me in Flex, although I know php, vb, and a few others (not Java). Most of the books I see are either completely generic theory, so it's hard to tell one is better than another (hence my question), or they're targeted to a languange I don't use (Java, C++), so I won't get as much out of them as I'd like. Some are targeted at Flash, which is better, but is still Flash focussed, so not ideal? I have links to: Head First Design Patterns (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596007124/ref=pd_cp_b_title/103-0966880-4095845?ie=UTF8) Programming Flex 2: The Comprehensive Guide to Creating Rich Media Applications with Adobe Flex (http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Flex-2-Comprehensive-Guide-Creating-Rich-Media-Applications-Adobe-Flex/dp/059652689X/sr=1-1/qid=1157055447/ref=sr_1_1/103-0966880-4095845?ie=UTF8&s=books) which looked good, but I wanted to see if anyone else had better options or knew anything about those (the 2nd one is due out in January).
