Book: Effective Java

Recently I bought this extraordinary book: Effective Java by Joshua Bloch. I really think this is a must-read for anyone who considers her/himself a Java Programmer.

So far I have met only one person who learnt most of this book's wisdom himself without actually reading it. And this person is really good at programming, probably the best I've known.

So, in short, if you are not a Java-genius (sadly I am not one) you must read it.

Foreword

I have been working with IT- and, particularly, Java-related technologies for more than 6 years now, and decided to start his blog more as a notebook to myself about various problems in programming I come across every now and then - ranging from system or component architecture to simple proper usage of a library.

However, if these notes might help others it would be great.

P.S. English is not my native language, hence I apologise in advance.
