Top Java Developers Offer Advice to Students
Sunday Jan 04, 2009
I'm sure many student developers have made New Year resolutions and I'm willing to bet that at least some of them have resolved to become better coders. Check out this great article from the Sun Developer Network (SDN) in which some of the best Java developers offer their advice for students. Here's a summary of their advice:
- Write lots of code. Have fun with it!
- Learn to use your tools.
- Don't put your entire application in one method
- Trust the garbage collector to do its job
- Start simple. Learn the basics of the language
- Don't panic (when you first see the API with thousands of classes)












Indeed, its a great read.. Happy New Year :)
