OOP Lecture note (java)
This long lecture note on Java gives an introduction to object-oriented programming concepts using the Java Programming Language. Starting from the very basics of Java and how to set up the environment, to basic syntax and data types, the note then covers the necessary operators, control structures, decision-making constructs, and goes further to give a comprehensive string handling. This resource outlines some of the fundamental object-oriented principles, such as classes, objects, methods, and modifiers, while also covering more advanced topics like inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, and encapsulation. It further elaborates on packages, interfaces, input/output operations, exception handling, and multithreading. The note, therefore, with its broad scope and practical examples, is intended for use by students and professionals who would like to learn the OOP capabilities of Java and how to apply them.

Object Oriented Programming by University of Mumbai
This University of Mumbai textbook covers Object-Oriented Programming in as much depth as possible, starting off with an introduction to Object-Oriented Methodology and the Principles of OOP necessary to understand the structure of OOP. The book then goes on to cover Classes and Objects with great depth: a description of how to define and interact with them. This explains Constructors and Destructors, further explaining through Polymorphism and Virtual Functions how dynamic behavior in programs is handled. Inheritance has been explained in detail to show how classes can be extended and reused. The text also discusses Exception Handling in order to handle errors in a structured manner and Working with Files in order to persist data. This book would therefore be important to both students and practitioners who wish to consolidate their understanding of OOP concepts and their application in programming.

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.
