Summary: A MUST HAVE for Java developers
Comment: I normally do not write reviews of books, but after I bought this book a few weeks ago and began using it, I felt that I needed to write something. It is obvious to me that this book was written by programmers who know what they are talking about, and who have had a lot of experience with Java projects. The book is full of useful information that can appeal to both the advanced programmer and the beginner Java programmer.
This book is full of real-world tips from almost every area of Java programming - gui development, XML parsing, EJBs, Servlets, JSPs, database programming, J2ME, some of the Web services APIs, and the list just goes on. I let one of the developers at work borrow this book, and he found a fix to a problem that we had been having for two months on an enterprise app we've been developing. Not only that, we have found a few pitfalls in our code that we hadn't encountered yet. In short, this book has already saved us from a world of hurt - and I've only had it for a few weeks.
This book is unique - not just because it focuses on what can go wrong when programming - but because it focuses on how to avoid those problems, and how to fix them.
As a programmer, I love Java. As a Java programmer, I think this book is a must-have. A lot of books out in bookstores I don't find helpful today, but this one is. This is one of the few Java books that I will keep on my desk at work.

Summary: Extremely Useful
Comment: This book is one of the best Java books I have picked up in some time. Many books these days are a regurgitation of web pages, JavaDocs, and the pages at Sun. Other books offer programming insight but are boring reading. This book is different. It is written well(humorous at times) and it is full of useful information that you can use on any Java project. Especially if you are a server-side developer, you will get a lot out of this.

Summary: Excellent, well-organized book
Comment: These guys put together a wonderful book; I've find it an ideal guide to solving pitfalls in the Java language and related J2EE technologies. Having this book on my desktop help me in preventing potential problems with my code and saving countless hours of time tracking down issues that aren't initially apparent.
Java Pitfalls points out a lot of common mistakes made in Java development as well as providing optimization and means of producing much cleaner code that runs faster and uses less memory. This book provides vital information for J2EE Architects and JDK1.4 specifications and lead Developers by showing how to avoid making mistakes that have critical impact on design and implementation of enterprise Java software.
The book covers Java NIO, which is a pretty formidable subject. The author does a decent job with this material. With JAXP, JAXR and JAXP, he provides you with instant access to critical, drill-down information on APIs and the foundation for you to proceed into any region of APIs usage and technology and have secure knowledge of the basics.
Besides being well written, the book is fun. I found myself trying to figure out along with the author how to improve the performance of the various examples demonstrated in the book. In addition to containing excellent advice; it's the most up to date publication dealing specifically with performance of Java applications.
