Java programmers have a lot on their minds. The codebase, the JDK, Java, JavaScript, build and deploy scripts, code in other JVM languages, frameworks, unit tests, testing approaches, programming techniques, IDEs, tools, development process, deadlines, meetings, software architecture, design patterns, team dynamics, code, requirements, bugs, code quality... and more. A lot.
The 97 Things Every Java Programmer Should Know project has collected together the wisdom of the crowd to offer a distilled snapshot of what every Java programmer should know, from code to people, from Java to other JVM languages, from inside the JVM to the outside world. Presented by the two editors of the book, this talk draws from this collection to present some highlights and useful advice.
