Abstract

The long-awaited second edition of Effective Java is here! It covers the latest 
in best practices for the Java platform. This presentation will concentrate on 
three areas where new material has been added to the book: enum types, generics, 
and concurrency. Do you want to know how to combine the safety and richness of 
collections with the performance of bit fields? Have you ever been confused by 
wildcard types? Do you want to know when and how to use lazy initialization? 
Then come to this talk.  The patterns and idioms you learn will be directly 
applicable to your programs and designs.
