Design Patterns & Idioms

 

Design Patterns
Addison Wesley by Erich Gamma, et al.
0-201-63361-2

The book that started the pattern movement and should be on every developer's bookshelf for easy reference.

Core J2EE Patterns
Prentice Hall by Deepak Alur, et al.
0-13-064884-1

The first book to define and provide a name for a number of common J2EE patterns. Invaluable for anyone that is responsible for J2EE architecture and development.

EJB Design Patterns
Wiley by Floyd Marinescu
0-471-20831-0

Provides a thorough look at server side design patterns and best practices that complement the standard patterns detailed in the Core J2EE pattern book.

AntiPatterns
Wiley Computer Publishing by William J. Brown, et al.
0-471-19713-0

As design patterns are to good design, anti-patterns are to software projects in crisis. The book describes symptoms of software problems and suggests corrective measures. An enjoyable read.

Java 2 Performance and Idioms
Prentice Hall by Craig Larman, et al.
0-13-014260-3

A great book that lists techniques to improve both the design (through best practices and idioms) and performance of Java code.
