These books really help with the "why" of OO, going beyond screen 
widgets. This is in many ways more important than JAPL syntax, which is 
pretty easy to handle.

Dr. Taylor presented a woefully underattended session at Common SF (20-30 
in a 200-300 room). Not well publicized, believe only a Green Streak 
listing. Very good speaker, nice extended small group q&a afterward as 
room wasn't booked.

He's a frequent columnist for Object Magazine, published by SIGS 
<www.sigs.com> 
SIGS also publishes Java Report, a good Java magazine, which recently had 
an interesting point/counterpoint with him vs. a M$oftie on Pure Java vs. 
Win Java.
