No, I have not, although I've read a few reviews and got the impression it's
more of a pragmatic "how to do stuff" book rather than one that specifically
dives into the whys and wherefores of things like OOP, which the OP seemed
to be looking for. That said, this is a reasonably uninformed opinion as I
have not read the book itself. The book certainly sounds commendable from a
"getting things done" point of view, as the title suggests. I was just
picking up on the OP's stress on wanting to learn "OOP concepts" explicitly.
