Java Styles And Idioms - Building Better Apps And Applets

This is an advanced book on Java written for readers who are already familiar with the basic syntax and need to do more than build applets for the Web. By using language idioms and design patterns, one does not have to constantly reinvent the wheel, but can draw upon a wealth of experience in applying elegant solutions to solve his or her own programming requirements. The book will use numerous code examples to illustrate both good and poor programming style, and will include the rationale behind the authors' tips and suggestions. It is not just a reference book detailing what to do when, but also provides background theory and context.
