(This is a rough guide and is being revised.)
The C++ Programming Language, 3rd Ed. Start with chapters 2&3, then read as you have time or need to research a particular topic (the index is quite good).
UML Distilled, 2nd Ed. This is thin enough to skim through quickly, then come back to the parts you really need to know. Class diagrams will be particularly important in this course.
Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object Oriented Software. This is a thick book, but most of it is a catalog of patterns. Read the introduction and a few of the patterns, then use it as a reference.
Pattern Hatching. If you want to find out more about how patterns are created, this is a good book. It walks through pattern creation in a very detailed way. Have Design Patterns on hand before reading this book.
