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 ww.objectmentor.com/resources/listArticles?key=author&author=Robert%20C.%20Martin ----------------------------------- Some of the highlights from my bookshelf: Martin, Agile Software Development http://www.objectmentor.com/resources/bookstore/books/AgileSoftwareDevelopmentPPP Fowler, Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code http://martinfowler.com/books.html#refactoring Beck, Extreme Programming Explained http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201616416/ref%3Dnosim/armaties/102-7636110-6481700 Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
