The goal of this book is to help you write better code. Better? Communicative, simple and flexible. The author focuses on programming techniques that enhance communication. Numerous notes and suggestions, taken out of author's own experience, are presented in this book. The author basically tries to tell us what he's learned and what has worked for him. Intended audience? Any Java programmer. I think this book is more useful to a junior to mid-level Java programmer, though. There are a lot of good suggestions for effective usage and how to make your code better. This book can also be useful for experienced programmers, as it could serve as a refresher of effective usage. In either case, you will learn at least a few new techniques on how to write a more communicative code. Read on for Stanley's full review.
