Most Helpful Customer Reviews   1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Lots of "best practice" for a team., 26 Sep 2000 By A Customer This book is exactly what it claims to be in the title. If you need to tweak as much performance out of some code as possible then there are about 30 good tips - ie the performance part of the title. Then there are a lot of things that remind you how you should code it - ie the idiom part of the title. Don't buy it if you are really attached to some parochial coding style.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I liked the style in which the book has been written, the concepts and ideas flow well, without the need for a great deal of re-reading. I found it both concise and eloquent. The content is well considered practical advice for developers with lot's good "not" so common sense. It has certainly made me reflect on my projects. As for my background I am a technical project manager of several Java/Corba based projects concerning risk management technology and work in the City of London.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
