[ajug-members] Best Technical Books?

[Gunnar Hillert]

Hi Les,

Although it has been mentioned in one of the other posts today...I just 
finished reading 'Effective Java Second Edition' by Joshua Bloch. The 
content is great, it is really well written and the structure is good, 
too (For the most part I was able to read a chapter per ride on Marta 
:-) A must-read in my opinion.

Oh, before I forget - Congratulations for getting accepted!!!

Cheers,

Gunnar
