	Addison Wesley Effective Java (Java S.) You may think you're a hot Java programmer, but you aren't perfect--yet. Josh Bloch is one of the Java core architects and in <I>Effective Java Programming Language Guide</I> provides a Java master class.<p> Bloch provides 57 items (did he reject ­varieties­?) grouped by subject. Each item highlights a ­gotcha­, expands on best practice or argues for deprecating a common practice. For example, among the gotchas, he points out problems with relying on finalisers, whose implementation varies from one JVM to another and may not run at all under some circumstances. <p> Best practice also gets a lot of airing. A neat example is not relying on Java's default object serialisation API, which--among other problems--can cause the object to break if you make any changes. This can result in a code maintenance nightmare. In the last category he discusses the string concatenation, ­+­. Using this can be a hundred times slower than appending to a StringBuffer. No problem for a one-off string but using it repeatedly can cripple performance. <p> Many of the items discussed are fairly trivial, such as returning zero rather than null for zero length arrays or avoiding the use of floats when you need precise answers--perhaps they were thrown in to make the magic ­57­--but despite these <I>Effective Java Programming Language Guide</I> offers a fascinating insight into Java's architecture and solid, easily assimilated guidance on its effective usage. <p> Unlike most books for programmers, this is one you really will find difficult to put down. Every serious Java programmer should read it. --<I>Steve Patient</I>     Availability: Usually dispatched within 24 hours Shipping: refer to store website	£20.45 at Amazon.co.uk  4.5/5 Info All items of this shop
	O'Reilly Learning Java (Java S.) Java is the language de jour and there's a stream of books covering it, but with so many books available new offerings have to be something special. <I>Learning Java</I> starts at the beginning with a ­hello world­ style program to demonstrate using Sun's Java tools, and it continues to introduce features with examples. These are all thoroughly discussed and explained in as straightforward and jargon-free manner as practicable. <p>A tricky aspect of Java is the way classes are related, so it's great to see a whole chapter devoted to the subject early on. Even more opaque is the explicit use of threads in Java. Again, this is covered in an accessible way, especially the discussion on thread synchronisation. The authors cover basic graphics, video handling and other media in Java before moving on to Beans and the builder environment, stopping short of JavaBeans. The book finishes with a section on applets, the Java plugin and digital signatures. There is, though, no feeling of working toward a goal--perhaps this would have been a better book with a project as a theme. Another odd decision is ignoring the several--some free--Java IDEs generally used to program Java. (Neimeyer makes a point of saying he hasn't discussed them but without saying why. Even beginners find Java more accessible in a programming environment.)<p>Still, <I>Learning Java</I>, which uses Java2 v1.3, does a competent job of introducing Java to beginners. As with most O'Reilly books, it's authoritative, lucid and well edited, though it may fail to inspire in the reader the presumed enthusiasm for Java felt by the authors. You won't go wrong with this one, and its coverage of object oriented programming issues is particularly good --<I>Steve Patient</I>     Availability: Usually dispatched within 24 hours Shipping: refer to store website	£31.95 at Amazon.co.uk  4.5/5 Info All items of this shop
