Object oriented design resources [closed]

Question

I am looking for good resources (books/web sites) for learning object oriented design. Every resource that I find are tutoring me more on UML and RUP instead of OO design. Head first book's sheer repetition is making me not want to read any of their books. I am looking for a book similar to "Structure and interpretation of computer programs" for object oriented design that gets to the point of teaching OO. I have no preference for any specific OO laguage.

Answer 1

Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications by Grady Booch is the bible for this topic. It is also very approachable though somewhat dense at points, but definitely worth reading and re-reading.
