One source I found very useful for the "philosophy" of OO with Java is Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in Java" ebook: http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIJ/
I originally came to OO through C++ & Booch, but moving to Java I still found this invaluable. John On 6/29/06, Miguel Arroz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi! I strongly recommend you to read the "Object Oriented Programming" of this book: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/ Conceptual/ObjectiveC/ObjC.pdf Although it's about ObjC, it's one of the best OO introductions I have ever seen. Of course, it covers the "object" concept used in C++/ ObjC/Java kind of languages. There are other OO-languages (like smalltalk and CLOS/LISP) that take completely different approaches to what an object is (I particularly like CLOS, but that's my personal opinion). Anyway, I remember that I read that chapter and it has transmitted me the OO ideia a lot better that my whole OO course during the graduation (the course was really bad, imagine a OO course where you end up HATING smalltalk... fortunately, after finishing the graduation, we organized some sessions with a really cool professor who has shown us the path to heaven, ie, smalltalk, clos, a working LISP machine, etc)! :) Back to subject, after that chapter, try to find a good Java book. O'Reilley usually have great books, I don't know what they have on Java, but I would start my search at their site.
