About this title

Synopsis

The Elements of Java Style, written by renowned author Scott Ambler, Alan Vermeulen, and a team of programmers from Rogue Wave Software, is directed at anyone who writes Java code. Many books explain the syntax and basic use of Java; however, this essential guide explains not only 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 text furnishes a set of rules for Java practitioners. While illustrating these rules with parallel examples of correct and incorrect usage, the authors offer a collection of standards, conventions, and guidelines for writing solid Java code that will be easy to understand, maintain, and enhance. Java developers and programmers who read this book will write better Java code, and become more productive as well. Indeed, anyone who writes Java code or plans to learn how to write Java code should have this book next to his/her computer.

Book Description

Renown author Scott Ambler and a team of Rogue Wave Software developers have joined together to write The Elements of Java Style. 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. It illustrates rules with parallel examples of correct and incorrect usage. Not only will Java developers and programmers who read this book write better Java code, but they will become more productive as well. Programmers who take the time to write high-quality code from the start will find it easier to modify it during the development process.
