Object Oriented Design
The course note presents the theory and practice of object-oriented programming. It enhances students understanding of the concepts of object, class, message, method, inheritance, and genericity. This note covers a basic model for objects; the principles of types and polymorphism in object-oriented programming languages; different forms of abstraction; and theory and practice of reuse. The course also introduces students to some object-oriented design patterns that practitioners have found useful.

This note provides a broad coverage of object-oriented design and modeling, ranging from basic concepts of modeling to class and state modeling techniques, from basic to advanced. Finally, interaction modeling is dealt with-a very important aspect in the design and analysis of interactions of a system. Other key areas of discussion are process overview, system conception, domain analysis, application analysis, system design, class design, and implementation modeling. Legal systems and design patterns conclude most discussions in the document to give an all-rounded outlook on OOD and its application in many contexts.

A First Course in Object Oriented Development
This is a PDF tutorial that gives an overview of OOD but shifts the focus onto Java as the main language used. The tutorial covers everything from very basic aspects in Java to a more interesting, comprehensive case study on which the concepts of OOD are really put into practical application. Aspects of the book include but are not limited to: analysis, design, and programming of course, but also the essential parts of testing and exception handling. Advanced aspects of OOD such as polymorphism, design patterns, and inheritance are also covered. We will also look into inner classes, one of the special features in Java. The resource is a good guide for both novices and intermediate learners for the view of object-oriented development principles and how to apply them in Java.
