Synopsis:

Written by an "in-the-trenches" expert on the Java(tm) programming language, this book provides readers with a practical approach to producing correct, efficient, and robust code.

This broad-ranging guide can help programmers with varying levels of expertise to understand Java more completely and to maximize their coding effectiveness. This book's rules-based format examines 68 key topics on how to improve your code, providing crisp, well-written examples and solutions. All of the examples and solutions are accompanied by thorough explanations for achieving a working solution of your own. This practical approach to programming and design describes the best practices used by experienced programmers. Intended for the intermediate to advanced Java programmer, the Practical Java(tm) Programming Language Guide is organized into individual lessons, so it can either be read from cover to cover or by individual topic.

Topics discussed include:

* Objects and equality * Exception handling * Performance * Multithreading * Classes and interfaces

If you want to spend less time debugging, optimizing, and tuning your code, this example-oriented, down-to-earth guide is full of practical techniques for exploiting the Java programming language. The 68 topics were chosen based on their relevance to effective and efficient programming practices. A special section focusing on performance provides valuable insights into Java performance issues and useful performance improvement techniques. If you want real-world, sound advice on building applications using the Java programming language, this book is essential reading.
