Good Object-Oriented Design

Good design and programming is not learned by generalities, but by seeing how significant programs can be made clean, easy to read, easy to maintain and modify, human-engineered, efficient, and reliable, by the application of good design and programming practices. Careful study and imitation of good designs and programs significantly improves development skills.
