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.

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.
