This probably is one of the best books (on Java that is ;)) I’ve read in years.
The book addresses the growing complexity Java designers & Developers face these days, by sticking to 5 simple principles:

  • Keep It simple
  • Do one thing and do it well; i.e focus your code on a particular task

I’m not even halfway through but I like what I read; the writers show some real common sense. For example, check the sample chapter on OReilly’s site: “Do one thing and do it well” to get an impression.
