Learning Object Oriented Principles (and perhaps Java)

During an intensive 3 day Java course last week, I gave an introduction to the principles of Object Oriented Design, and a very short segment on design principles (there's a limit to how much can be covered in three days, and Java itself was the main topic).As a follow up to that course, I promised to let the delegates have a .pdf copy of the notes that I have previously written on the subject - and in fact they're available under an open license as follows:
14 pages on OO fundamentals
10 pages covering the next level
24 pages on OO design principles
Please note - these are VERY MUCH notes to accompany the course and lectures; there are some subjects such as Object Orientation which are especially difficult to learn from books and are ideally suited to a classroom discussion with interactive development of examples relevant to the class. "Not only WHAT is the answer but how did you REACH the answer". If you want to learn Java and the OO principles, I have a course running the week after next - see the four day bootcamp and Java Programming for the Web agendas. (You'll want the latter if you're writing Server side Java, the former for other uses).
