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.

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!
