    This has got to be one of the most irritating books I have read in a long time. Not only is the information in this book two years late, badly mis-aimed (it is a _beginners_ book, not an _intermediate_ book) but it is simply a cheek - it is just the reverse of the other books. The patterns books say "do this because", this book says the same thing in reverse "don't do this because".

    And it uses Vectors. Vectors for heaven's sake!

    I really like the style of writing in this book.
    A lot of tech books put me to sleep every other page, but
    Bitter Java is engaging, and has information on real world issues.

    I've begun to think that this book should be required reading for J2EE developers. This is possibly the only technical book I've ever read all in one sitting. Good stuff.

    What can I say, once again TSS lives up to what it really is , a relentless credit to Java J2EE. It is this lot that make J2EE what it is today. I hope that we the fortunate beneficiaries never forget this fact and contribute whatever we can to keep TSS alive.

    Thanks guys.

    Really interesting!
    The descruction part is perfect but misses the proposal!
    I know there is a lot of books that discuss this stuff.
    I think it's better complete with a suggested pattern.

    Great stuff. I've seen so many of these anti-patterns recently, it's nice to see them analysed and refactoring solutions proposed.

    Thanks to Manning.

    Started reading it. Good book. Just don't take everything as gospel. :) Found at least one thing to somewhat disagree with and one thing that, well, was the wrong technology. I know, picky, picky. That is all fine for those who can interpet but for those who are less informed, like managers :), they may need a little help.

    I must say that the book is probably one of the most
    readable Java related books that I have come across
    in some time.

    Made me think about some Tony Robbins material that
    sort of said the only way to avoid making mistakes is to
    have wisdom. But gaining wisdom only comes from making
    mistakes! Heres to making mistakes and learning from
    them. Hopefully the mistakes are someone elses.

    Cudos to Bruce Tate. It makes a wonderful companion
    to Sun's Core J2EE Patters book (IMHO).

    Cheers,

    Noel.

    First, let me say I appreciate anyone that takes the effort to write a book (particularly a technical book). I'm just now starting Chapter 3, and am enjoying the book so far.

    I thought I would make comments along the way to stir up debate, rather than wait to the end.

    I ran into the first item I totally disagreed with. The author (Bruce) claims that using "cut and paste" leads to "more error prone" code. I actually believe the opposite. With Java, obviously one would first attempt to abstract common occuring code, but then you are left with some reoccuring themes\code blocks (i.e. Design Patterns). If I'm setting up session EJB facade for a use case, why wouldn't I want to start from the basic shell of code than from scratch. Isn't that what tools like Rational do with code generation? XDoclet? Of course, as the author points out, you have to understand the context you are in, but isn't that part of being a programmer? I would rely on IDE code completion instead of memorizing method signatures. I would rely on abstraction, examples and code shells while cutting code. I think all of it makes me a more efficient programmer, and gives me a jump start with proven, tested code.

    What are other's opinions? Maybe I missed Bruce's point.

    Mike

    PS: By the way, a "Post Preview" would be an excellent TSS feature. :)

    I like the book a lot. I really appreciate being able to read it online, too.

    One thing that I wish would have been studied more was the notion of how a lack of deliberation/design/leadership leads to anti-patterns.

    The book does mention XP but to me XP seems more coding oriented and less deliberation/design oriented. OTOH, RUP, for example, seems too process oriented.

    I firmly believe that anti-patterns arise from poor/no up front work.

    As for where curly braces go, who cares?

    Good book.

    Sartoris,

    "I firmly believe that anti-patterns arise from poor/no up front work."

    It's ironic you posted that today. I just had the thought today, that given the dynamic nature of J2EE related technology (moving target), that your "proprosed" up front work has to be "checked" on a regular interval. We talk about refactoring code, but maybe you need to refactor your "project framework" decisions on occasion also. Obviously many decisions would cost to much to abandon, but some could prove to be cost effective in the long run. For example, say you had created your first J2EE project using CMP entity beans. Maybe you then come to realize JDO is a better choice. If you never apply that "project checkup", you could find your code base dated very quickly. I would like to see mechanisms on projects where developers could challenge previous decisions. Some challenges could be opposed right out of the gate by management because of deadlines or budget. In other cases management would allow the developer time to build and support their case and maybe bring to the team to discuss. Team members would be much more motivated to keep up with technology if they thought the effort would be worthwhile on their current project. I have been on too many projects where it was pointless to bring "better methods" to management, because "oh, we already decided that". JMO.

    Mike

    By the way, my comment above is not the same as saying you should chase every buzzword or hype of the moment. I'm just suggesting that sometimes, something "important enough" will come along which should definitely be applied from that point forward in your shop, and maybe also be worth refactoring an existing application. Why are we coding at all of these layers if you don't plan on rewriting one of them every now and then. :)

    I think it was Scott Myers who wrote (Effective C++ or More Effective C++) that we should write for the future tense. That is, expect things to change and desing/ write code that adapts easily to change.
    The most frustrating thing for me is that no matter where I am contracting/working there is never any respect for deliberation. Lack of time is always the excuse. Anti-patterns are a symptom of poor design.

    "The most frustrating thing for me is that no matter where I am contracting/working there is never any respect for deliberation."

    I think you and I have had the same contracts, just in different cities. :) That was my point about needing "regular checks" or as you would say, "regular deliberation". You can't run a project by committee (someone always has to make the final decision), but you certainly could and should set up a mechanism for regular review. These reviews would allow a forum to introduce new proposed solutions and techniques, and also allow challenges to previous decisions. I would go so far as to document the process (maybe internal project website) so that if the same challenge is raised in the future, you have a record of the basis of prior decisions. This would safeguard against those "young genius managers" that already know everything about software development because they learned it in college and was an analyst on 1 project. :) My apologies to the young genius managers that "DO" already know everything.

    Mike

    Have you ever had any success in convincing others of the need for deliberation and design? Maybe I don't present the case very well but I'm never successful. I think the idea is something that comes through self-discovery.

    Heck, at my current contract I can't even get them to buy even $150 UML tools!
