title: What is the recommended size of a class?
body: <p>a have been writting a Java EE 6 web application which is really my first serious application I am coding. I have noted that my classes are as big as 500 lines to 1000 and could probably get bigger. I have no idea how big a class should be or if it matters at all but I don't want to continue writting gigantic classes if it is going to impact the applications performance negatively. what advice do you have for me?</p>
