My copy of Ted’s Effective Enterprise Java arrived today and I’ve spent a few minutes browsing some of the tips.

I’m looking forward to both using it as a day-to-day reference and eventually reading it cover to cover. From what I’ve read it appears well written with
enough examples sprinkled in to keep things interesting. I would like to post my thoughts on an ongoing basis as I work my way through it.

I’ve also got J2EE without the EJB on to go, and Code Complete 2e waiting to be finished.

Looks like I’ve got some reading to do this winter. Long live Amazon.
