A First Course in Object Oriented Development
This is a PDF tutorial that gives an overview of OOD but shifts the focus onto Java as the main language used. The tutorial covers everything from very basic aspects in Java to a more interesting, comprehensive case study on which the concepts of OOD are really put into practical application. Aspects of the book include but are not limited to: analysis, design, and programming of course, but also the essential parts of testing and exception handling. Advanced aspects of OOD such as polymorphism, design patterns, and inheritance are also covered. We will also look into inner classes, one of the special features in Java. The resource is a good guide for both novices and intermediate learners for the view of object-oriented development principles and how to apply them in Java.

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.
