97 things every java programmer should know

[Will Myers]

Juts looking at the list of topics it seems to me these are a collection of argument/discussion starters - certifications are bad (or good), checked vs unchecked exceptions, etc - Java developers have been having these conversations for years and everyone has an opinion. I've read 97 things every programmer and 97 things every architect, hope this book is as good :-)

[Kevlin Henney]

Yes, that each of these pieces is a starting point rather than a finish line is very much the idea of the book.
