Hi
I am curious if anybody knows of a good book on object oriented programming.
I have some experience in IDL but I don't really have an idea of object
oriented programming.
Most books I know presuppose some knowledge in C or C++, which I don't have.
What I am looking for is something starting from scratch.

That one I found really hard to follow. Now that I know a bit about
OOP, I should try again.
What I liked was by Rumbaugh et al., Object-Oriented modeling and
design, Prentice Hall. It is not for any specific programming language.
I believe that they have a new book out now, but don't know the name.

The book that got me started on object programming (and still
a book I like to read) is _Object-Oriented Design Heuristics_
by Arthur J. Riel. Despite its awful title, it is an easy
book to understand and extremely well written for a computer
book. What I have always especially liked about it is that
no special knowledge of C or C++ is required to understand
it, thank God! :-)
ISBN 0-201-63385-X. You can find it at Amazon. There
is a short review of this and other books I've found
helpful on my web page.
