Etc...

 Been reading the initial chapters of "Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (2e)" by Grady Booch. Good book, covers C++ and other languages. Not the easiest of reads...

More progress....

 Well, I now know enough UML to be dangerous. Or to use it in "sketch mode".

One of the references in the back of "UML Distilled" referred to a class for teaching Object-Oriented Thinking using small index cards. This is a very useful technique and, if you don't know about it already, take a look here.

UML Distilled

Well, my (second hand) copy of "UML Distilled (3e)" arrived today. It looks promising and I will be devouring it over the coming days.

In particular, the UML notation's quick reference is in the inside front and back covers. Looking good :)
