Thanks, I recall the Wires-Brock books been pretty good, its a shame you canât preview any of them (and mine are in a box in my attic somewhere). Unfortunately I canât imagine that students first staring out will want to invest - but maybe I can find something that might fill the gap leading to those. Tim

As I see Exercism students grapple with more realistic, I am wondering what we point people towards to learn about OO, identifying objects and more importantly responsibilities these days?
There is the early Beck CRC paper - but looking at it again, I wonder if its a bit cursory for people who missed the whole OO discovery years ago, and are now faced with competing advice on how to write good programs (much of which seems to eschew OO these days - rather unfairly I think).
Any good references come to mind? As Iâll build up a list that I can point people to, that hopefully puts them in a better place to solve these more interesting and hopefully rewarding problems.
Rebecca Wirfs-Brock and Alan McKean (2002) Object Design, Roles, Responsibilities, and Collaborations?
