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.

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.

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.
