do you have some pointers to documents to learn good Object Oriented

Smalltalk Best Practice Patterns
by Kent Beck
Prentice Hall PTR; ISBN: 013476904X

It's Smalltalk, but much more relevant to us, Cocoa developers, than any
other pattern book.

Oooh! Oooh! I've got that one, too. Fantastic book. Seconded, 100%.

'The Design Patterns Smalltalk Companion'
by Alpert/Brown/Woolf
Addison-Wesley
ISBN: 0201184621

...is also quite useful, sits by my side much of the time.

Generally speaking, you won't go far wrong with a decent smalltalk book or two if you're developing Obj-C. Or Smalltalk, come to that.

Then there's ...

'Object-Oriented Programming With C++ and Smalltalk'
by Caleb Drake
Prentice-Hall
ISBN: 0131037978

Which gives a reasonable description of the differences between the two languages (and, by extension, C++ & Obj-C) with examples. I can't say it's the best book I've ever read, but if you come across a cheap copy...
