Product Description
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
Product Description
The Elements of Java Style, written by renowned author Scott Ambler, Rogue Wave Software Vice President Alan Vermeulen, and a team of programmers from Rogue Wave, is for anyone who writes Java code. While there are many books that explain the syntax and basic use of Java, this book explains not just what you can do with the syntax, but what you ought to do. Just as Strunk and White's The Elements of Style provides rules of usage for the English language, this book provides a set of rules for Java practitioners to follow. While illustrating these rules with parallel examples of correct and incorrect usage, the book provides a collection of standards, conventions, and guidelines for writing solid Java code which will be easy to understand, maintain, and enhance. Anyone who writes Java code or plans to should have this book next to their computer.

Deserves to be next to every Java coders keyboard,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Elements of Java(TM) Style (SIGS Reference Library) (Paperback)
Of the 108 points made in this book, there was only one I could take issue with (no. 6); and even then not strongly.If this little tome is flawed at all it's by ommission. Hardened old coders like me will appreciate its brevity, while beginners might miss the point of some of the advice until experience bites 'em. An extra sentence or two of explanation and a few more code fragments would not go amiss. The first section "General Principles" is a few points short too. Although you can derive such maxims as "write the test before the code" and "don't use more APIs than you need to" from the general thrust of the text, I would have preferred these made explicit. Gripes aside, this is an excellent book that does exactly what it says on the cover, and has gained a permanent place next to my keyboard.

Thinking Java in a Nutshell,
By stephen.clothier@accurity.com (Accurity GmbH, Zürich, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Elements of Java(TM) Style (SIGS Reference Library) (Paperback)
This little book is very useful as both a reference and an essential guide to java developer thinking. In today's world, full of rich and wordy books, a distillation of fact in such compact form is essential to my day to day work, and to that of my development teams. Apart from that, writing such a compact treatise is in keeping with the common minimalistic approach that makes java based development so successful.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential for all Java programmers,
This review is from: The Elements of Java(TM) Style (SIGS Reference Library) (Paperback)
In programming well structured and well styled code is essential to making it robust, re-usable and easy to read. This book is the perfect reference for Java programmers to check with to see if the code they're creating adheres to good design and style principles.Basically, if you program in Java you need this book!
