Summary: Very comprehensive do's and don'ts!
Comment: This is an excellent quality work that can be used to instill quality in others. Don't bother writing up a long list of company do's and don'ts, just hand out this book. It covers coding style, documentation style, and lots of Java tips and techniques. It's exactly what I've been looking for, I just wish someone would write a similar book for HTML, XML, XSL, Transact-SQL, and all the other languages we use at work. This book is very concise, I was able to read it in a day, but it very heavily favored quality over quantity. I can't think of a tip that they left out, and every tip that needed illustration had an accompanying clear example. A perfect work and just what I've been needing.

Summary: Extremely practical !
Comment: This book is an excellent style guide for the Java programmer. Your code will really benefit very significantly by following the principles listed. The book starts out about general principles. " Follow standards whenever you write a code ( my favorite! )It talks about formatting conventions. Then naming conventions. Then it talks about documentation conventions, both the internal comments and JavaDoc. Then it really talks about programming conventions. Then it finally gets to packaging conventions. Following principles accessible in this book will make your life easier! You will understand and easily maintainable code.

Summary: Deserves 0 Stars
Comment: Read Code Complete by Steve McConnell. You don't need this book. It contradicts itself on several occasions and is totally wrong on others. It's unfortunate and sad how many organizations want to adopt texts like this as their "coding standard". A pamplet-sized book of bullet-points can't make developers competent, but a comprehensive manual of the best in software engineering practices like Code Complete can.
