Topic:Don't Do This! How Not to Write Java Software
As a consultant, I see a lot of bad code. This talk is about the common problems I see in code, the damage they cause, and what you should do instead.

You will learn about the following bad ideas (and then some):

* This code will never be used in a multithreaded environment.
* Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you shouldn't check for nulls!
* Comment everything!
* I'll create my own JDBC Connection, thank you very much!
* Why retest when you can copy and paste?
* Why use two methods when one will do?
* Here, have an exception.
