What sets this book apart is its focus on learning. The authors have made the content of OOAD accessible, usable for the practitioner." Ivar Jacobson, Ivar Jacobson Consulting "I just finished reading HF OOA&D and I loved it! The thing I liked most about this book was its focus on why we do OOA&D-to write great software!" Kyle Brown, Distinguished Engineer, IBM "Hidden behind the funny pictures and crazy fonts is a serious, intelligent, extremely well-crafted presentation of OO Analysis and Design. As I read the book, I felt like I was looking over the shoulder of an expert designer who was explaining to me what issues were important at each step, and why." Edward Sciore, Associate Professor, Computer Science Department, Boston College Tired of reading Object Oriented Analysis and Design books that only makes sense after you're an expert? You've heard OOA&D can help you write great software every time-software that makes your boss happy, your customers satisfied and gives you more time to do what makes you happy. But how? Head First Object-Oriented Analysis & Design shows you how to analyze, design, and write serious object-oriented software: software that's easy to reuse, maintain, and extend; software that doesn't hurt your head; software that lets you add new features without breaking the old ones. Inside you will learn how to: Use OO principles like encapsulation and delegation to build applications that are flexible Apply the Open-Closed Principle (OCP) and the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) to promote reuse of your code Leverage the power of design patterns to solve your problems more efficiently Use UML, use cases, and diagrams to ensure that all stakeholders are communicating clearly to help you deliver the right software that meets everyone's needs. By exploiting how your brain works, Head First Object-Oriented Analysis & Design compresses the time it takes to learn and retain complex information. Expect to have fun, expect to learn, expect to be writing great software consistently by the time you're finished reading this! Review: An excellent book on a slighted subject - I do LabVIEW programming and trying to find a good reference on this subject has been a struggle. This book, although written for JAVA programmers, contains the information on how to decompose your programming project and lay it out to be coded. I just had to ignore the JAVA examples and focus on the how-to. Be aware though, that this book assumes you know Object-oriented terms and fundamentals. This is not the book to use if you want to pick up this programming style from scratch. However, if you have the basic idea under your belt, this is one great book to work through. I plan to have this book really dog-eared when I'm done. Review: Very good book with "conversational" concept explanations - The book is "easy to read" compared to the ones' on the same topic. It becomes a bit more complex in the end after the basis concepts are already passed. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #507,207 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in UML Language #70 in Object-Oriented Software Design #94 in Object-Oriented Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 461 Reviews | ## Images ![Head First Object-Oriented Analysis and Design - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91mi4Cysj-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent book on a slighted subject *by T***N on January 14, 2012* I do LabVIEW programming and trying to find a good reference on this subject has been a struggle. This book, although written for JAVA programmers, contains the information on how to decompose your programming project and lay it out to be coded. I just had to ignore the JAVA examples and focus on the how-to. Be aware though, that this book assumes you know Object-oriented terms and fundamentals. This is not the book to use if you want to pick up this programming style from scratch. However, if you have the basic idea under your belt, this is one great book to work through. I plan to have this book really dog-eared when I'm done. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good book with "conversational" concept explanations *by P***I on February 1, 2022* The book is "easy to read" compared to the ones' on the same topic. It becomes a bit more complex in the end after the basis concepts are already passed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Once of the best Object Oriented Analysis & Design books *by A***S on May 12, 2017* I read this book at the very start of my career as a software engineer. One of the most fundamental things in software development is to learn how to collect requirements from clients (or your employer) and transform these into small, re-usable chunks of code. Learning design principles presented in this book, like DRY (Don't Repeat Your Self), SRU (Single Responsibility Unit) or KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid) can help any developer program faster and more efficient. A must read for all new developers! ## Frequently Bought Together - Head First Object-Oriented Analysis and Design: A Brain Friendly Guide to OOA&D - Head First Design Patterns: Building Extensible and Maintainable Object-Oriented Software - Head First Java: A Brain-Friendly Guide --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/2697613-head-first-object-oriented-analysis-and-design](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/2697613-head-first-object-oriented-analysis-and-design) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
