I don't have an AOP or pattern book to recommend, but I have a set of
principles that I always recommend:
http://butunclebob.com/ArticleS.UncleBob.PrinciplesOfOod
For Agile, I liked Practices of an Agile Developer as an introduction to
many of the practices. When I say intro - I mean intro. Most things are
mentioned in passing so it will hopefully spur you to go in depth on those
that interest you (they have a good list of resources). Of course,
Pragmatic Programmer covers much of that too.
For wrapping up OO, patterns, and Agile, I liked Robert C. Martin's book,
Agile Software Development: Patterns, Principles, Practices (not sure on the
order of the 3 Ps there).
Looking forward to what others recommend.
