Good Books/Tutorials

Question

I have a firm grasp on objects, abstract classes, and interface, as well as inheritance and encapsulation. I understand the concepts and whatnot.
The problem is that when I think about writing a program using these concpets I have difficulties. Not because I don't know how to implement them, but because I'm unsure how to relate interfaces and abstract classes to the project.
In the examples that I've read, they use Animals, Shapes, and whatnot. The desings seem intuitive, but what about real programs...
Can anyone give me a good tutorial or book that would help me?
Thank You

I have a firm grasp on objects, abstract classes, and
interface, as well as inheritance and encapsulation.
I understand the concepts and whatnot. I used to think the same way before comming to this forum. But I am still learning these concepts.
Probably you would be in the same phase.
Search on this forum, you would be finding a lots of beautiful matters.
For example see this thread:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=789900
It is a very basic example, but you could get marvelous things if you search.
The problem is that when I think about writing a
program using these concpets I have difficulties. Not
because I don't know how to implement them, but
because I'm unsure how to relate interfaces and
abstract classes to the project.basically, the concept behind interfaces and abstract classes is generalization.
They make up a contract, and any class could implement that contract.
I think you should read about "Design patterns", these are commonly followed programming techniques for specific scenarios, you have to just identify your scenario.
"Java Design Patterns" by James W Cooper. is a good book for that.
In the examples that I've read, they use Animals,
Shapes, and whatnot. The desings seem intuitive, but
what about real programs...No body is going to code for you! You have to code by your own (that's what for you get paid). You can request for help, but don't rely on others for getting your problem solved.
Can anyone give me a good tutorial or book that would
help me?Read "Programmer's Guide to Java� Certification" by khalid A. Mughal" Really nice book for clearing concepts.
Don't read this book-> feel it, work with it.
Once I read this whole book in one day (can you believe it). But I didn't got anything out of it. I thaught it is a worthless book.
But then one of my friend told said the same sentence to me that I mentioned above, Now I am not reading it, I am feeling it. Its been 2 weeks, and I havn't even completed half of the book.
Well I think now I am booring you all. So I shut up my mouth.
Thank YouYour welcome dear!
