Effective Java will help you learn good some software development practices but it won’t help you with anything specifically related to .NET. It is a great book and there is much that can be learned by reading it regardless of your language of choice.
If you are looking to polish your C# code then you will probably be better off reading Bill Wagner’s More Effective C#.
That being said, Joshua Bloch is a very smart individual and I would recommend his book to any developer. Also he is a fantastic speaker and many of his presentations can be found on YouTube.
