Synopsis
The Definitive Guide to Java Platform Best Practices-Updated for Java 7, 8, and 9 Java has changed dramatically since the previous edition of Effective Java was published shortly after the release of Java 6. This Jolt award-winning classic has now been thoroughly updated to take full advantage of the latest language and library features. The support in modern Java for multiple paradigms increases the need for specific best-practices advice, and this book delivers. As in previous editions, each chapter of Effective Java, Third Edition, consists of several "items," each presented in the form of a short, stand-alone essay that provides specific advice, insight into Java platform subtleties, and updated code examples. The comprehensive descriptions and explanations for each item illuminate what to do, what not to do, and why. The third edition covers language and library features added in Java 7, 8, and 9, including the functional programming constructs that were added to its object-oriented roots. Many new items have been added, including a chapter devoted to lambdas and streams. New coverage includes Functional interfaces, lambda expressions, method references, and streams Default and static methods in interfaces Type inference, including the diamond operator for generic types The @SafeVarargs annotation The try-with-resources statement New library features such as the Optional interface, java.time, and the convenience factory methods for collections, The Definitive Guide to Java Platform Best Practices--Updated for Java 7, 8, and 9 Java has changed dramatically since the previous edition of Effective Java was published shortly after the release of Java 6.

The 3rd edition covers language and library features added in Java 7, 8, and 9, including the functional programming constructs that were added to its object-oriented roots. Many new items have been added, including a chapter devoted to lambdas and streams. New coverage includes Functional interfaces, lambda expressions, method references, and streams Default and static methods in interfaces Type inference, including the diamond operator for generic types The @SafeVarargs annotation The try-with-resources statement New library features such as the Optional interface, java.time, and the convenience factory methods for collections, Since this Jolt-award winning classic was last updated in 2008 (shortly after Java 6 was released), Java has changed dramatically. The principal enhancement in Java 8 was the addition of functional programming constructs to Java's object-oriented roots. Java 7, 8, and 9 also introduced language features, such as the try-with-resources statement, the diamond operator for generic types, default and static methods in interfaces, the @SafeVarargs annotation, and modules. New library features include pervasive use of functional interfaces and streams, the java.time package for manipulating dates and times, and numerous minor enhancements such as convenience factory methods for collections. In this new edition of Effective Java , Bloch updates the work to take advantage of these new language and library features, and provides specific best practices for their use. Java's increased support for multiple paradigms increases the need for best-practices advice, and this book delivers. As in previous editions, each chapter consists of several "items," each presented in the form of a short, standalone essay that provides specific advice, insight into Java platform subtleties, and updated code examples. The comprehensive descriptions and explanations for each item illuminate what to do, what not to do, and why. Coverage includes: Updated techniques and best practices on classic topics, including objects, classes, methods, libraries, and generics How to avoid the traps and pitfalls of commonly misunderstood subtleties of the platform Focus on the language and its most fundamental libraries, such as java.lang and java.util, The definitive guide to Java programming language best practices from Josh Bloch Each chapter of Effective Java, Third Edition, consists of several "items," each presented in the form of a short, stand-alone essay that provides specific advice, insight into Java platform subtleties, and code examples. The comprehensive descriptions and explanations for each item illuminate what to do, what not to do, and why. While coverage is through Java 9, this guidance covers core Java features every programmer works with, regardless of which version. Concurrency: write clear, correct, well-documented concurrent programs Objects: creating and destroying; common methods Classes and interfaces: guidelines for making them usable, robust, and flexible Generics: tell the compiler what types of objects are permitted in each collection for safer and clearer programs Enums and annotations: two special-purpose families of reference types Functions: break a big job into smaller pieces that might well be written by different people separated by both time and space. Lambdas and streams: create function objects with more ease Method designs: treat parameters and return values; design method signatures; document methods Exceptions: improve a program's readability, reliability, and maintainability Object serialization: the dangers of serialization and how to minimize them General programming: local variables control structures libraries data types reflection native methods optimization naming conventions Programmers still consider this the best book on Java programming today.

- 3***5 (92)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI received this item today = 10/06/25; It was a little slow 2 get here, but it was worth the wait, since it came as described: Brand New! That was very appreciated, thank U; Also, it was reasonably priced, thus making it affordable; Mailed in a bubble-wrap envelope, & the item was in shrink-wrap; The appearance was pristine! Thanks 4 making it available; Smooth transaction! God Bless U!!! :)
- e***r (2728)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI received this item right on time. IF it was a little slow to get here, that's a matter for USPS, NOT the seller. It was worth the very brief wait, since it came as described: Brand New! That was very appreciated, thank you. Also, it was reasonably priced, thus making it affordable; Mailed in a bubble-wrap envelope, and the item was pristine! Thanks for making it available; Smooth transaction!
- 2***b (591)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis was as pictured. The other item in the same shipment was not the edition and cover ordered and I was very disappointed about that. Looking at other recent reviews it seems other buyers have the same complaints - they send you any old cover and not the one you wanted and chose specifically because of their photo. Second frequent comment is true too - very flimsy packaging, but the books were fine. I'd say if you want a specific cover do NOT order from this seller. Otherwise fine.
