Object-Oriented Programming: From Problem Solving to Java provides a thorough, easy-to-follow reference to master object-oriented programming principles. Throughout the text, problem solving and programming techniques are presented in modeling diagrams, pseudo-code, and flowcharts. Users then learn how to put theory into practice using actual Java code. Unlike "cookbook" guides where users blindly follow the instructions this book encourages users to explore their problem solving creativity, and then test their ideas in a real-world environment. By first learning the concepts involved in object-oriented programming, and then learning how to put them into use, readers not only learn Java, but they also learn how to become more efficient programmers.

tackle the problems to learn OO,

This review is from: Object-Oriented Programming (From Problem Solving to JAVA) (Charles River Media Programming) (Paperback)
If you need to practice your Java object oriented coding, try using Garrido's book. He gives many example problems in pseudocode. These are very well suited to you taking them and manually translating that pseudocode into Java.
Think of this perhaps as similar to a Schaum's Outline book of problem sets. Of course, you can also do the obvious of learning the object oriented aspects of Java from the book. But basically any book on teaching the general properties of Java tends to cover this to some fashion, since Java is fully object oriented. Garrido's book is a little more distinctive in having a collection of problems in pseudocode put right in front of you.
