Effective Java Second Edition

 

by Joshua Bloch
Foreword by Guy Steele

"I sure wish I had had this book ten years ago. Some might think that I don't need any Java books, but I need this one."
-James Gosling, Fellow and Vice President, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

 

Josh Bloch designed, implemented, and maintained many of the Java platform libraries. Here he shares 57 "nuggets"--rules and code examples showing what works, what doesn't, and how to use the language and its libraries to best effect.

Accessible by anyone who knows the language, but food for thought even for advanced programmers.
