OOD and Modeling
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.

Object Oriented Programming by Carl Erickson
Carl Erickson's note on Object-Oriented Programming introduces the OOP paradigm in detail. It first gives an explanation of Motivation for Object-Oriented Programming and The Object-Oriented Paradigm, including insights as to why OOP is effective. The note discusses essential concepts of OOP: Abstraction, Identity, Encapsulation, and Modularity, object-oriented messaging, and object-oriented hierarchy. It also discussed naming conventions, object-oriented typing, and concurrency and persistence. Other heads-up are on practical aspects of OOP: the Object-Oriented Development Process and ObjectOriented Analysis Techniques. It also provides tools for effective design through the use of UML notation, CRC cards, and object-oriented class relationships. In simple terms, this can be a useful resource to understand the theoretical and practical aspects of OOP regarding its pitfalls and best practices.

Elements of Object Oriented Program Design
Following is an exploration of object-oriented program design with an emphasis on how to make the transition from Scheme to Java. Covers: Java mechanics and data types; static fields and the Singleton pattern; simple graph algorithms, object oriented data structures-all in a very hands-on way. Discusses GUI programming, graphical user interfaces, including design. This resource, therefore, presents theoretical findings appropriately supported with practical examples that are very crucial in the understanding of object-oriented design principles and their application in Java; thus, it is suitable for learners seeking to upgrade their programming skills and knowledge in design.
