About this title

Review

'The Elements of Java Style is perfect in what it tries to achieve. Each rule is sensible, hardly any are debatable, and there is no excuse for ignoring any of them.' JavaZone Book of the Week

From the Author

This is a great resource for any serious Java developer
We wrote this book to share with you a collection of proven, industry best practices for writing robust Java code. This book is short, 128 pages, and the size of a pocket book so it's easy to carry around with you. It describes 108 practices for writing superior Java code. As an author I guess you can say that I'm biased, but frankly this is the type of book that I think every Java programmer should have. It's focus is on how to write clean, high-quality code, something that every good programmer strives for. The techniques that we discuss not only result in better code, I truly believe that they will also help to increase your productivity during both development and maintenance (yikes, the dreaded M-word) of your code. Even though the book has only been available for two months now, we're already seeing it get adopted as the coding guidelines document for Java programming teams and even as a supplementary text for college-level Java programming courses.

I like to look at it like this: It took 7 guys a year to write a 128-page book, so it has to be good. ;-)
