Book Reviews of Effective Java (2nd Edition) (The Java Series)
Book Review: Taught this old dog new tricks
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been programming Java since 1995 and sometimes think I know everything I need to know about working with the language. Sometimes it takes a book like "Effective Java" make you realize there's always more to learn.
This book is packed with incredibly useful information that every single Java developer should know. The best part is that Bloch is not proposing any kind of radical new programming method. He is simply organizing and presenting tried and true Java programming patterns and disciplines.
I can't count how many times I've said, "Of course, it is so obvious! Why didn't I think of that?" when I was reading this book. The items presented are things you may know, or half-know, and all it takes is the proper presentation and explanation to completely "ice" things in your mind. The best part is starting a new project after reading "Effective Java" and getting to try out all the good stuff in your own code.
I bought the First Edition seven years ago and am so happy the Second Edition is finally here. It is well worth the wait. If you develop in Java in any capacity -- get this book!
