Summary: This a still compared to usual practices....
Review: Very good and comprehensive coding standard, in an easy and practical form (who would believe that books are practical in these times of e-stuffs ;) The crew that worked on that document sums up a very significant amount of experience, and came up with a distilled summary of pertinent do's and don'ts, in a form that's easy to read, hence easy to apply. I've seen so many companies spending big chunk of money to write stuffs that are not any better than that! Buy a bunch and hand it over to your developers! it's easier than to carry around a stack of assembled print-out.

Summary: Excellent Resource for Serious Java Programmers
Review: We wrote this book to share with you a collection of proven, industry best practices for writing robust Java code. This book is short, 128 pages, and the size of a pocket book so it's easy to carry around with you. It describes 108 practices for writing superior Java code. As an author I guess you can say that I'm biased, but frankly this is the type of book that I think every Java programmer should have. It's focus is on how to write clean, high-quality code, something that every good programmer strives for. The techniques that we discuss not only result in better code, I truly believe that they will also help to increase your productivity during both development and maintenance (yikes, the dreaded M-word) of your code. Even though the book has only been available for two months now, we're already seeing it get adopted as the coding guidelines document for Java programming teams and even as a supplementary text for college-level Java programming courses.I like to look at it like this: It took 7 guys a year to write a 128-page book, so it has to be good. ;-)
