I saw Justin Gehtland speak over the weekend at the NFJS event and was so impressed I went out and bought “Better, Faster, Lighter Java”, a book he helped write. I’m really enjoying it so far. It’s reinforcing beliefs I already have and giving me an additional tool to explain to others these beliefs 🙂 Granted, it’s a high level book and deals more with concepts then specifics – but that’s aok with me – that’s what search engines are for.

Here goes a presentation by Bruce Tate on the book and the concepts it presents to fight bloat and complexity.

Good stuff. Highly recommended.
