Indispensable...

An indispensable, insightful, and well written Java book to add to your reference library. The second addition is due out May 25, 2008.

Great Guide

I am only about half way through this book and already have learned numerous things about the design of Java as a language and about proper usage of said language. This book is going to be a staple in my programming library and a book recommended to anyone I know working with Java. I am also looking forward to the second edition which is slated to be released in May sometime.

This Book is a Daily Guide for the Java Developer

I purchased this book last week from Amazon.com and already I am hooked to it.The style is not pedantic but thorough. Lots of tips for the everyday Java programmer from Josh (who wrote the Collections framework in Java).

Typically I skim over the chapter for Josh's tidbits of wisdom. I often leave the Mathematical rigor for later reading.

This book is NOT FOR IVORY TOWER ARCHITECTS!. Only Serious Java Developers should read/refer this book.

Great recommendations

I ask all of the developers I manage to read this book, after having been introduced to it by a coworker. Great tips, and helpful in clarifying some of those "gut feel" things that come up during pair-programming.

Good but a little outdated.

Good book, but a little outdated.
Surely it's a must if you program in Java (but the same applies to all the books on improving programming languages), it is not enough to know the syntax of a language to know how to program in that language.

(Pearson Education) Working solutions to programming challenges faced by Java developers on a daily basis, revealing what to do to produce clear, robust and efficient code. Include rules in short essay form, and the author's 'war stories,' giving advice and insights into nuances of the language. Softcover.
