Good Code
I strongly agree with Manuel. Keep in mind that you write code for somebody else to modify. If it is not easy to do so, then your code is not good! Remember that maintainance is 70%+ of the project’s life. If you cannot make modifications easily, then you really are wasting time. It’s good to…

JBoss At Work
Good overall book on how to deploy J2EE apps to JBoss. It follows a step-by-step approach (which at times might be annoying, but it does the job). Not much theory, though. If you want to learn how to deploy to JBoss, then this is a good book. Otherwise, a good overview of J2EE and Hibernate,…

PPP: Practice, practice, practice
Practice makes perfect. I think you can agree with me on that. To become a craftsman, you not only need to acquire new knowledge and new skills, you need to be able to apply that knowledge, be able to polish your skills, and improve the output every time. I don’t remember who said it, Mozart…

Simple is Beautiful
Programmers love complexity. We love to make things that are complicated. Why is that? I think it’s because programmers think that it makes them look good. 🙂 I think they feel they accomplished something big. Or is it that it gives them job security? (probably not) 🙂 What’s the root of the problem? I think…
