Object Oriented Programming:  An Evolutionary Approach

Not having read it, I cannot comment on the Goldberg book, but
Brad Cox's book is a very good introduction to o-o programming. 
It is also nice if you've been doing o-o programming for a while
(like I had) and would like a different perspective on the
concepts and design approaches.  To illustrate the practicality
of the book, let me say a friend of mine used some of the ideas
in the book to implement a decent C-based, o-o environment on his
Mac.
