Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: A revolutionary book! - This book is about Object-Oriented programming, but it's (probably) not what you think! There are many books, articles, blogs about OO. Everyone seems to think they know what it is. But this book tries to convince you otherwise. A lot of people will probably have a negative reaction to it just because of the fact that it basically tells them "you've been doing OO wrong the whole time". But I would strongly advise you to read the book and really try to understand what the author is saying. The good parts: * A rather short book without much needless small-talk * Most of the book's ideas are applicable even if you don't adopt the whole philosophy of the book (things like "don't use singletons", "make classes immutable", "keep classes/objects small", etc.) The less good parts: * Some things the author says sound a bit "dramatized" * What author says is not always exactly what he means (for example, "Never use -er names", tells you not to name classes with words that end with "-er" suffix, but what the author is trying to say is something like "A LOT OF class names that end with '-er' are bad because their names imply procedural code wrapped in objects rather than real objects; basically, things like "CashFormatter", "PageLoader", "UserDeleter" or "ImageTransformer" are bad, but things like "User" and "Programmer" are OK). Despite a few flaws, it's still an excellent book. Review: Eye-opening - This book showed me that I didn't understand OOP very well. Now I do. I would advice to read it with open mind, don't let your ego to get on the way. Mistreatment of those poor objects must come to an end. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 761,594 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1,913 in Software Design & Development 1,926 in Computing & Internet for Professionals 4,852 in Computing & Internet Programming | | Book 1 of 2 | Elegant Objects | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (118) | | Dimensions | 15.24 x 1.37 x 22.86 cm | | Edition | 1.0 | | ISBN-10 | 1519166915 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1519166913 | | Item weight | 295 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 215 pages | | Publication date | 17 Feb. 2016 | | Publisher | CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | ## Images ![Elegant Objects: Volume 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qtkABFG8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A revolutionary book! *by R***. on 18 December 2017* This book is about Object-Oriented programming, but it's (probably) not what you think! There are many books, articles, blogs about OO. Everyone seems to think they know what it is. But this book tries to convince you otherwise. A lot of people will probably have a negative reaction to it just because of the fact that it basically tells them "you've been doing OO wrong the whole time".

Despite a few flaws, it's still an excellent book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Eye-opening *by A***R on 8 April 2024* This book showed me that I didn't understand OOP very well. Now I do. I would advice to read it with open mind, don't let your ego to get on the way. Mistreatment of those poor objects must come to an end. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes you reconsider what you have taken for granted in OOP *by Z***V on 7 May 2016* Before reading this book, I did not even realize how many OOP anti-patterns I was using. Now that I have read it, I am really eager to apply the principles defined in the book. Problem is that, it is not very easy to change a way of thinking one has had for years. Also it is really hard to "isolate the diseased" when the language you are writing in and the API framework you are using violate the principles defined in the book. Even after reading the book, I would say that I still write code that is not very maintainable, but now I know that I can improve this code. --- ## 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.ph/products/131970947-elegant-objects-volume-1](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/131970947-elegant-objects-volume-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-29*
