I second Effective Java. It's an advenced/master level guide to write good java code. Some of the subjects are outdated as it is so engraved in Java that probably a tool does it for you(eg. dependency injection) but really helps t

My experience is that these kind of devs only survive in big environments e.g. multinational companies. Once they become the mayoriy (or the loudest) then part of the company will match their speed over time and the development time and tim

Could you describe what makes this book your favourite? I read it this year because it was recommended in another thread. I didn't find anything interesting in it but maybe I missed something obvious.

I tried to read it previous year and found the books incredibly boring - most of the characters are exaggerated and flat, the story is really nowhere to be found after 300 pages and the use of English language was simplicistic. I only got t

I disagree - every parent absolutely can and should learn. Also I do not seek "advice". I seek general knowledge. But maybe we are talking about different things. I'm talking about kids growing and learning stages and limit s
