Building Skills in Object-Oriented Design
################################################

How do you move from OO programming to OO design? Do a lot of design focused
on building a sophisticated application program. This 285-page
book has 46 chapters that
will help you build OO design skills through the creation of a moderately complex family of application programs.
This is a step-by-step guide to OO design and implementation.

The text has been completely reworked to clarify most of the exercises.
A few sections were greatly simplified, based on reader feedback.

The code examples are focused on Python 3.

The content can be easily adapted to Python 2.

It can also be adapted to any other object-oriented programming language,
including Java, C++, Ruby, etc.
