Top drift, on this forum.......................... never .

From what I recently read, I'd recommend "Java concurrency in practice". It's very likely that sooner or later you'll have to cope with threading issues, and this books gives a good grasp of the topic.

Other then that, Agile Database techniques is cool and enjoyable read.

You can also read 'Head First Design Patterns'. I have read it and its very good book.

[leetgeezer]

I confirm; Headfirst Design Patterns is not your regular technical book. Very readable and written in unusual style.

My recent reads from the Martin Fowler Signature series:

Beyond Software Architecture - covers important aspects of software architecture from the point of view of both technical and marketing person.

Enterprise Integration Patterns - if you want to do any systems integration by means of messaging, this is the book. Contains a catalogue of messaging patterns, from easiest to most complex. Examples include JMS.

Picking this topic up.

I am looking for good books on architecture/framework design. Any suggestions?

These are already in my bookshelf:

• Effective Java
• J2EE expert one on one
• J2EE Without EJB
• Refacttoring to patterns
• Patterns of enterprise application architecture
• Design patterns
• Clean Code

Thats a quite old thread you have digged out there - I personally find "Domain Driven Design" (E. Evans) very good.

Some personal new recommendations:
Working Effectly with legacy code
Agile software development - princibles, patterns and practices
