OOP software design

[S Shehab]

Hello guys,

Can anyone recommend for me a good book for OOP software design, i need it begin from scratch to professionally.

Ps: i'm in the beginner's level in this field but my background is j2ee development

So anyone can help me?

Thanks

Difficult. I quite like the Deitels' books; the Java one is in its 7th edition, but you can pick up the 6th edition secondhand and hardly notice the difference.
Lots of poeple like Sierra and Bates Head First Java.
Go through this websit and look for Bunkhouse Books; you will find more information there.

How about

Gang of Four - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_Patterns It's one of the
best sources of design patterns out there. I highly recommend this one

Fowler and Liskov also have some really nice books on OOP.

What exactly are you looking
to learn? (That is, can you give us some insight as to what you actually know about
OOP so that we can go from there? Are you already familiar with what an abstract class is,
inheritance, and so on? Or do you want to learn the basics?)

hi,
Sure i familiar with these basics but from a developer perspective , what i wanna learn is how to know these stuff and more from a desginer & architecture perspective with out getting much in the code, this for preparing my self to take a desginer role ..

How about having a look at this link http://java.sun.com/blueprints/patterns/ ?

What about "Head First Object Oriented Analysis and Design" and "Head First Design Patterns". I think they are appropriate.

Yes, HF Design Patterns is a great book and no doubt in that!
