I have a dozen books on java, but no book specifically on best practices.
What do you think. Will some thing short suffice.
I like "Effective Java" by Josh Bloch. This book is about
best practices down in the trenches: How to write good Java code
and what to avoid that would make it less good. It's not much
concerned with best practices at the Big Picture level -- system
design, data integrity and security, etc. -- but an excellent
resource at the let's-write-some-code level.
Absolutely /Effective Java/ is the #1 book for Java best practices.
/Java Concurrency in Practice/ is the goto book for practical concurrent
programming in Java.
IBM's developerworks.com/java site is chock-full of best-practices articles.
Angelika Langer's site is the best to introduce generics.
Patricia Shanahan's has the best advice for beginners.
mindprod.com has the best overall advice about Java, minus a few glitches here
and there but always well meant.
Know the Java Coding Conventions.
Try this (I haven't vetted this query so YMMV):
