Quoting myself from the archives:

I recommend Robert Martin's "Agile Software Development: Principles, 
Patterns, and Practices"
http://www.objectmentor.com/resources/bookstore/books/AgileSoftwareDevelopmentPPP

This is the best book I know for learning object-oriented design the way 
I do it ;) - a very agile, pragmatic approach. It shows you the 
nitty-gritty details of how to create classes as you develop a solution. 
Also a good introduction to the agile development style.

Much of the content of the book is available as essays on the 
ObjectMentor website: http://w
