I am smack in the middle of the Head First OOA&D book right now, reading it
rather closely (but not doing the exercises yet... Shame on me!).
I can say this book is definitely one to have, although I don't 100% agree
with their approach to discovering requirements. I'd say I actually agree to
only about 50% of their requirements gathering approach... But it could be
that they took their particular route in order not to turn the book into a
Head First Project Management book of some sort. ;)
The actual process of working through what constitutes a class and when and
where you might consider creating new classes or not is actually presented
very well; it's definitely one that I welcome, right next to my Head First
Design Patterns, Head First HTML/CSS/XHTML, Head First Java, and Head First
JSP and Servlets! :)
