Please excuse me again, but I have found the book. &nbsp; It's &quot;Design Patterns&quot; by Erich Gamma, et. al. &nbsp;However, it a &quot;cook book&quot;, rather than tutorial. &nbsp;Could anyone recommend a good tutorial for someone (me) who already understands the basics of OOP, but wants to become more sophisticated in design?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Please excuse me again, but I have found the book.   It's "Design Patterns" by Erich Gamma, et. al.  However, it a "cook book", rather than tutorial.  Could anyone recommend a good tutorial for someone (me) who already understands the basics of OOP, but wants to become more sophisticated in design?

Reading that and thinking about things would be enough to get you 'thinking in patterns'.

Dear Experts,<br />
<br />
Please excuse me for putting this question in this forum...<br />
<br />
I have heard several references to a &quot;classic&quot; programming-patterns book. &nbsp;(It's not Thinking in Patterns by Bruce Eckel--it's older than that.) &nbsp;I know the publisher is Addison-Wesley, but I can't remember the title or author.<br />
<br />
Anybody know it?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

What is classic &quot;patterns&quot; book?

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
