The Object Primer: The Application Developer's Guide to Object-Orientation

by Scott W. Ambler

The Object Primer is the ultimate introductory text on object-oriented (OO) technology. By reading this book, you'll gain a solid understanding of object-oriented concepts and object-oriented analysis techniques. Written by a developer for developers, this book will introduce you to object-oriented design in the context of class modeling. It begins with a description of why developers and their organizations want to take advantage of the object-oriented approach, then moves to issues like CRC cards, use cases, and class modeling. It puts the entire OO development process into perspective, presenting both the serial and iterative development strategies. It includes easy-to-follow notations and provides 'cheat-sheets' references for easy accessibility to commonly used information. It includes a complete glossary of terms.

So far I like it. It explained use cases really well. I am looking forward to taking more out of the book. I got it for 5 bucks at 1/2 Price Books - Oh yeah!
