Any good books on Object Oriented Programming?

I switched to ABAP Objects about a year ago and I must say after reading more about the concept I started to like it as it gives me more tools that procedural programming couldn“t easily accomplish.

I'm planning on getting a book in order to incrase my knowledge about the OO concept, as I'm still not using all the potential.

I'm looking more for general guidelines to OOP, not necesarily an Abap Objects book

Hi Ramiro,

besides "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", which is a must-read for any ABAP OO developer, I recommend you the SAP Press book ["Object Oriented Programming with ABAP Objects"|http://www.amazon.com/dp/1592292356] by James Wood. You'll find it on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1592292356

The concepts of object orientation, good patterns and anti-patterns, do's and don'ts, tips for modeling, some XML, and a few interesting UML diagram types are explained with great clarity. The author manages to convey the abstract concepts as well as useful rules of thumbs and combines both with a hands-on approach. Order your copy now, and if you have a friend who does ABAP, order one for her or him, too.

Cheers,

Thorsten

Also, I am about to post on SCN a series of BLOGs called:

"Best Practices in development of Business Classes in Object Oriented ABAP".

Part 1 of 9 should be posted this week.

Check it out!

Personally, I like the "friend" concept. I am waiting for that to be extended to the procedural world...

I am just a hobby ABAPer and do a bit of tool work (BAPIs) in the security area. For this, the user BAPIs are well defined and generally consistent with their transactional equivalents.

This makes me a bit lazy about using OO, but I am aware of this character flaw

I will keep an eye on this thread and buy the books as well which gurus recommend.

The local problem often is (run) time and (disk) space. CPU reaches 100%...

Hi Amit,

I can understand it perfectly.

Learn OO-English to keep your comprehension skills up to date with technology and below the radar of the content filters...
