Java 7 and Java 8 introduced new features and functions including, forEach() method in Iterable interface, default and static methods in Interfaces, Functional Interfaces and Lambda Expressions, Java Stream API for Bulk Data Operations on Collections, Java Time API, Collection API improvements, Concurrency API improvements, and Java IO improvements. In this new edition of Effective Java , Bloch explores new design patterns and language idioms that have been introduced since the second edition was released in 2008 shortly after Java SE6, including Lambda, streams, generics and collections, as well as selected Java 9 features. As in previous editions, each chapter consists of several “items” presented in the form of a short, standalone essay that provides specific advice, insight into Java platform subtleties, and updated code examples. The comprehensive descriptions and explanations for each item illuminate what to do, what not to do, and why. Updated techniques and best practices on classic topics, including objects, classes, libraries, methods, and serialization How to avoid the traps and pitfalls of commonly misunderstood subtleties of the language Focus on the language and its most fundamental libraries: java.lang, java.util, and, to a lesser extent, java.util.concurrent and java.io Review: Read the book carefully, do extra steps, and then take the exam soon after - If you are planning to take this exam, then I highly recommend this book. The author covers all the main points from the exam. She keeps the reader on track instead of wandering from one topic to the next. I would also recommend supplementing with mock exams online. Those are invaluable to prepare you for the strange nature of the questions. This book has several examples, but you need to work through many more to get used to it. Also, use your IDE to implement many concepts in code, and explore difficult concepts on the web. Then return to the book to get back on track. Review: Excellent and Essential for Serious Java Developers - Well, it seems more of an add the title, but, this book is a must if you want to be a serious and compromised Java developer. There are many issues your code can acquire as you do modifications to it, but applying the practices mentioned here will allow you to reduce technical debt and enhance many of the desired attributes of software such as maintainability and extensibility. The advice is awesome, what one has to pay attention to is where to apply some of the latter practices, but yes, in general everything here is usable and has value. Book totally worth the money. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #84,597 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Java Programming #21 in Computer Programming Languages #185 in Education (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,603 Reviews | ## Images ![Effective Java - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LUCOFv6PL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read the book carefully, do extra steps, and then take the exam soon after *by R***I on November 25, 2025* If you are planning to take this exam, then I highly recommend this book.

I don’t recommend it as an introduction to the language, but once you do get familiar with its syntax and you start wondering what resource you should turn to improve your understanding of the language and its usability, then read this book! The writing is clean and comprehensive. I didn’t feel lost on most topics. I was able to follow along pretty consistently. The ones I did struggle with, I just re-read some parts of the passages and looked up some articles that were a little more introductory to what I was reading. If anyone is wondering how this book fairs on an e-reader, I read this all through a Kindle and I didn’t see any issues with the examples or text. Finally, if I had to make just one request, I’d say that a few more examples of bad practices vs the good ones would be awesome just to highlight the issues that a passage addresses. Amazing book nonetheless! ## Frequently Bought Together - Effective Java - Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship - Java Concurrency in Practice --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/55261070-effective-java](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/55261070-effective-java) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
