New alternative to the Gof design pattern book for uml MDD with C++

Question

Hello everybody,

I am using lately a tool i.e. Rhapsody for MDD with C++ and I have difficulties on coding the classes by beginning with the uml diagram. Simultaneously I am trying to integrate some of the Gof book examples in the UML diagram and somehow it confuses me....

Is there any book that 1) is quite new (gof is 1994..) 2) describes/introduces MMD using C++ combined with design patterns usage 3) provides illustrated uml examples accompanied by c++ source code

Note1: My local library has some books but for java.. But even though both languages are object oriented, I think that the uml diagrams are not the same because of different features between the 2 languages e.g interfaces modelling

Note2: If u know a good site with good resources on the subject instead of a book please let me know

Thanks

Head First Design Patterns is the book that I first used to learn design patterns. It is definitely a lot easier to start learning design patterns with that the GoF book. After I understood it the GoF book wasn't that difficult to read but I can understand if you found it dry as a beginner.
