Readers will learn to understand object-oriented design with inheritance or composition, object aggregation and association, and the difference between interfaces and implementations. Readers will also become more efficient and better thinkers in terms of object-oriented development.' This revised edition focuses on interoperability across various technologies, primarily using XML as the communication mechanism. A more detailed focus is placed on how business objects operate over networks, including client/server architectures and web services. I was not a fan at all of this book.
It's like one of the object-oriented programming books of the 1990s, telling you all about how great objects are then showing Java code riddled with statics and public mutator methods.All the hallmarks are there: the implementation-derived interfaces, pointless hierarchies where we learn that Dogs are Canines are Mammals and that Squares are Rectangles are Shapes, and more.The book has very little on what I would consider object-oriented thought.

There is a superficial chapter on design patterns. Nothing useful on domain modeling. Nothing on the kinds of principles that were already evinced in Bertrand Meyer's writing.
Nothing on message-passing, prototypical inheritance, design by contract or anything that doesn't conform to a Java 1.3 view of OOP. Nothing on capturing intent in designing objects.It appears as if the author's perspective on OOP is that it's a useful way to wrap procedural code for use in modern systems, rather than being a system design process in its own right that happens to sometimes incorporate procedural code.I would not recommend this as an introduction to modern Object-Oriented techniques: unfortunately I can't think of anything that does fill that gap. I found this book to be useful when I started learning OOP. But after having pursued OOP diligently over the past few months, especially with Ruby, this book teaches things just WRONG!I've learnt that OOP needs to be learnt by following one simple (well, not quite) concept - abstraction. It's the heart of OOP. Objects are an abstraction on Procedural code based on real life examples of abstraction.
Classes are an abstraction on Objects. Not the other way 'round. This book really teaches Class I found this book to be useful when I started learning OOP.

Not the other way 'round. This book really teaches Class Oriented Programming.Worse yet, concepts are explained based on their implementations in the popular contemporary languages. That's wrong. The approach should be to teach the OO though process and then adapted to the implementations.I can't recommend this book anymore. But what's a good alternative to start off with OOP? I think I'll just have create my own.
This book teaches OOP using Java as a model, so you get a lot of the typical Java best practices and general advice presented as 'object-oriented programming.' I was hoping for a book that was more about object-oriented design and the thought process behind designing applications, but instead it's just an intro to programming using object-oriented languages (Java, C#, and C circa the early 2000's).

If you've ever used Ruby or read up on Smalltalk, then a lot of what this book talks about will just be confusing as it really has nothing to do with OO-specific problem domains and is more about how modern (at the time) software development works.The few good spots in the book are the clear definitions of the terminology and some examples of design patterns at the end, which I admit were pretty decent, though there were only a small handful. This book might be useful for someone who has mostly been using imperative languages and wants to take a look at Java, but the code samples haven't aged well and there are far more options on the market than just C#, Java, and C these days, so it's hard to recommend this book. This is a good, basic text on how to think in terms of object-oriented programming. Coming from a structured or 'functional' programming background, wrapping my brain around the 'object-oriented' way of thinking has been extremely difficult. This book definitely helped move me along the path of 'getting' the OO paradigm. It is written at a level that someone familiar with basic computer programming can understand, and avoid becoming too tied to the author's favorite OO language (Java).

Coming from a structured or 'functional' programming background, wrapping my brain around the 'object-oriented' way of thinking has been extremely difficult. This book definitely helped move me along the path of 'getting' the OO paradigm. It is written at a level that someone familiar with basic computer programming can understand, and avoid becoming too tied to the author's favorite OO language (Java). There are many coding examples in the book - perhaps too many, in a few cases.The author does a good overall job, but there are a few weaknesses. First, when discussing databases, he spends many words discussing how to convert OO data to flatfiles, or to relational databases, and how to read and write to relational databases with OO applications.
But he doesn't write one word about how to build and actually use OO databases. This seems like a strange choice, given the OO focus on the book. I understand that his reason for this stems from the fact that the majority of databases are flatfiles or relational. However, that doesn't justify leaving OO databases completely out of the chapter on databases. He could have given us a couple of paragraphs on the pros and cons of using such a database, at least.This book is certainly not capable of turning one into a hardcore OO programmer overnight, or of re-training one' mind into the OO paradigm overnight. However, it definitely provides a good starting point for those who want to learn how to do OO programming, and is a great place to start.
Its focus on generalities rather than code-oriented specifics makes this a much better book to start with, than one of the books that focus entirely on a particular programming language such as C. If you're new to OOP I would recommend you read this book, if you have experience on OOP then this might not be the right book for you. It did help clarify some concepts I wanted to understand a little deeper so I can't complaint, but it felt a little redundant at times and many of the images used throughout the book were not helpful at all, some were. Kind of ridiculous.Overall it's a good book and in my opinion, if you learn a single concept from reading an entire book then it was a If you're new to OOP I would recommend you read this book, if you have experience on OOP then this might not be the right book for you.

I bought this book at the beginning of my career, then it was fine, I'd say 3 stars, nice explanation of OOP patterns, some examples, etc.
All that I wanted to have in this type of book. It was hard to read and boring so I forgot about this book.I back to it some time ago, and all I can say now is that this book is ok but only ok.

The Object-Oriented Thought Process, Fourth EditionAn introduction to object-oriented concepts for developers looking to master modern application practicesObject-oriented programming (OOP) is the foundation of modern programming languages, including C, Java, C#, Visual Basic.NET, Ruby, and Objective-C. Objects also form the basis for many web technologies such as JavaScript, Python, and PHP.It is of vital importance to learn the fundamental concepts of object orientation before starting to use object-oriented development environments. OOP promotes good design practices, code portability, and reuse–but it requires a shift in thinking to be fully understood.
Programmers new to OOP should resist the temptation to jump directly into a particular programming language (such as Objective-C, VB.NET, C, C#.NET, or Java) or a modeling language (such as UML), and instead first take the time to learn what author Matt Weisfeld calls “the object-oriented thought process.”Written by a developer for developers who want to make the leap to object-oriented technologies, The Object-Oriented Thought Process provides a solutions-oriented approach to object-oriented programming. Readers will learn to understand the proper uses of inheritance and composition, the difference between aggregation and association, and the important distinction between interfaces and implementations.While programming technologies have been changing and evolving over the years, object-oriented concepts remain a constant–no matter what the platform.
This revised edition focuses on interoperability across programming technologies, whether you are using objects in traditional application design, in XML-based data transactions, in web page development, in mobile apps, or in any modern programming environment.“Programmers who aim to create high quality software–as all programmers should–must learn the varied subtleties of the familiar yet not so familiar beasts called objects and classes. About the Author:Matt Weisfeld is a college professor, software developer, and author based in Cleveland, Ohio. Prior to teaching college full time, he spent 20 years in the information technology industry as a software developer, entrepreneur, and adjunct professor.
Weisfeld holds an MS in computer science and an MBA. Besides the first three editions of The Object-Oriented Thought Process, he has authored two other software development books and published many articles in magazines and journals, such as developer.com, Dr. Dobb’s Journal, The C/C Users Journal, Software Development Magazine, Java Report, and the international journal Project Management.'
