[Tutor] OOP books

[Kent Johnson]

I don't have a book to recommend that directly teaches OOP, but rather some 
that show by example.

Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software is a 
classic. It shows you a number of common object-oriented software patterns. 
http://www.aw-bc.com/catalog/academic/product/0,1144,0201633612,00.html

Agile Software Development: Principles, Patterns, and Practices 
demonstrates object-oriented design and design patterns in the context of 
agile development.

Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code will show you how to 
recognize code "smells" and apply simple refactorings to improve it.
