  …Bob, it's his way or the highway." His clean code work is certainly pretty dogmatic. As I recall, he says that Java is not object oriented. But if my memory serves me correctly, his book about C++ (Designing Object-Oriented C++ Applications Using the Booch Method) has some excellent parts. His description of the difference between a class and an instance is one of the better ones. Then there is the famous sudouko puzzle incident, in which a student trying test-driven…

If my memory serves me correctly, Grady Booch himself had a book with roughly the same title, except that his name would not be in the title, of course, but would be there…

  …using Turbo Vision with Turbo Pascal 6.0. Eventually also started coding with Object Windows Library in Turbo Pascal and Turbo C++. Borland manuals were my introduction to OOP, followed by books like "Designing Object-Oriented C++ Applications using the Booch Method.". Only later I got to learn about the multiple ways of doing OOP (CLOS, Beta, SELF, ...).

  I first encountered him with this book: Designing object-oriented C++ applications using the Booch method and really liked: Agile Software Development: Principles, Patterns and Practices. I didn't think Clean Code was worth it though.

  …on the Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software book, released in 1994, 2 years before Java was made public. Or the examples from "Using the Booch Method: A Rational Approach", "Designing Object Oriented C++ Applications Using The Booch Method", or "Using the Booch Method: A Rational Approach". Additional there are enough framework examples starting with Turbo Vision in 1990, MacAPP in 1989, OWL in 1991, MFC in 1992,.... Somehow a C++ style…
