Joshua Bloch will be serving up a few Java Puzzlers as an appetizer before and as dessert after the main course which will be a talk on Effective Java. Effective Java was first released in 2001 and quickly became the standard guide to best practices for the Java programming languages and its core libraries. The second edition was released last year, and it's chock full of new material covering features added in Java 5 and 6. New topics include generics, enums, annotations, autoboxing, and the like. This talk covers some of this new material, and a few things that didn't make it into the second edition.
Finally, our members are encouraged to take advantage of these other Silicon Valley Web JUG resources:

Aleksandar Gargenta (aka Sasa) leader of the San Francisco JUG was
kind enough to record in HQ video Josh Bloch's recent talk at our JUG
meeting. He has posted the video and slides here:http://marakana.com/forums/java/general/30.html

Patrick NicolasThis is one of the best presentation on Java programming language I even attended. Quite a few people around me agreed. The section regarding generics and thread safe hash map was very interesting.
-
Aleksandar GargentaJoshua never fails to deliver! It's always a pleasure to listen to him speak on Java - or anything else he is passionate about! Great content, fantastic presentation, amazing turnout!
-
Krishna TangiralaJosh's presentation was wonderful and enjoyable. I liked the choice of the meetup topic and I liked the way Josh presented it. Thanks to Van and Kevin for arranging this meeting.
-
Damon SilverLively presentation with lots of good code examples. Only downside was that there weren't more free copies of Effective Java available! Also, the freebies spinner needs to happen immediately after the speaker finishes or everyone bolts for the door.

Dave BriccettiJosh Bloch was outstanding, as always. The TalkingPuffin guy wasn’t too shabby either.
