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. -- Eric Sosman esosman@ieee-dot-org.invalid
