I’ve recently been coming across the term “smells” or “code smells.” Once you see it in context, it’s quite clear what it means. Something bad to fix. Java.net posted a list of such smells as well as a suggested method to correct it.  Reference lists like this can be helpful. Even if you are not actively studying things like this, it’s good to review to gain a broad view of what types of things should be avoided.

This link was given to me by my instructor for a Object-Orientated Software Development class. Again, worth while to review.

The following is an interesting article related to how .NET handles strings. I’m not sure if the same thing might apply to Java; I’d be interested to find out.

Anyway, I’m posting this here for safe keeping and to share it…
