I'm looking for a concise object oriented programming reference that emphasize concepts and is not too close to any language. Most of the books that I saw on this topic describe a particular language without giving language-independent overview of the concepts. ..Uday

I have been very impressed by Bertrand Meyer's _Object_Oriented_ Software_Contruction_. Any book that gets into some detail needs a language in which to express examples. This one uses Eiffel, but I have not found this a problem even though I'm currently learning C++. I use Dr. Meyer's book for concepts and C++ books for language details.

I received 6 responses to my query. And all of them recommended Bertrand Meyer's book- Object Oriented Software Construction. Thanks to all those who responded, ..Uday
