"Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby: An Agile Primer" is a really good book for learning object oriented design. Not sure how long - but it's worth it - and you don't really have to read the whole thing.

I think this should apply generally to touch screen gestures. Once someone invented a good enough touch screen display(capacitive) , the gestures are not that big of a step. All Apple did was to acquire the inventors of the capacitive touch
