hello all,
i am a beginner in object oriented software development.
Currently, i am studying java language.
i have a theorotical knowledge of oop.
But, i found that i am getting problem while implementing oops concepts.
There are many books available for learning object oriented concepts in market.
Can you please guide me in choosing best book (it is better, if you suggest me only one book) for learning oops concepts.
please suggest,
  • one book for, beginner level
  • one book for, intermediate level
  • one book for, advanced level.


  • So that, i will read them sequentially.
    I am waiting for your valuable Suggestions.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can try Head First OOAD and Head First Design Patterns. Those two books are pretty good for beginner.

    I also recommend Head First OOA&D.

    But for design patterns, I recommend Design Patterns [GoF] rather than Head First Design Patterns.

    I had a much better appreciation for "Design Patterns" after I had read "Refactoring" by Martin Fowler.

    For learning Java, I found "Thinking in Java" to be quite good - was more than a decade ago, though.

    For mid-level, I would highly recommend Robert Martin's "Agile Software Development - Principles, Patterns and Practices".

    For advanced level, I don't think there is any one single book. Just don't stop reading. ;)

    All of the books listed are good to great. I also recommend:

    OMT Insights by James Rumbaugh
    Applying UML and Patterns by Craig Larman

    Every book listed in this thread should be read several times.

    You could try Google Book Search, but some pages will be missing.

    There are thousands of free references -- are you sure you need a book, if you're not willing to spend the money?
