Description: With Essential Java Style, developers finally have a Java style guide that offers detailed patterns for real-world implementation. Using real code, not abstract discussion, Jeff Langr brings together scores of today's best implementation solutions for the problems every Java developer faces. By standardizing on these solutions, developers can build Java programs more quickly, efficiently, and reliably -- and make them dramatically easier to maintain. Langr brings together great ideas from many sources, notably the excellent Smalltalk patterns identified in Kent Beck's Smalltalk Best Practice Patterns (Prentice Hall PTR). He presents patterns that cover methods, messages, state, collections, classes, and formatting. Each pattern appears on its own page, with its own name and summary box designed to show exactly which problem is being solved. By standardizing on Langr's Java patterns, development teams solve the key problems of Java development: widely varying code styles that complicate walkthroughs and maintenance; inconsistent and misleading naming; and inefficient techniques for common operations.
