摘要：Java开发人员书房必备的图书
笔者这两年陆陆续续的看了几位专家有关Java开发人员需要阅读的好书籍介绍，现在又看到XP专家Roy Miller有关Java开发人员必备书籍的介绍，觉得有必要将几位专家的意见综合一下，选出几本公认的书来，供各位朋友们参考。

表3，按推荐度大小排列的书
看了上述的排列有何感想，最为专家推崇的是未获的Jolt奖的，1999年出版的，The Pragmatic Programmer: from Journeyman to Master，是不是有点意外？笔者总结前可是真没想到，看起来Jolt奖也不是百分百正确无误的，当然The Pragmatic Programmer的Pragmatic Starter Kit Series还是获得了14届Jolt奖也算是对The Pragmatic Programmer: from Journeyman to Master这本经过时间考验的好书的补偿吧！好了不多讲了，上述9本书可以作为Java开发人员书房必备的经典图书予以推荐。另外，再补充3本得Jolt奖的Java图书作为参考“：
