Title: Old wine in new bottle?
Review: I bought this book thinking that there will be a lot of new stuff as compared to the previous version - Core Java 1.1 Advanced features. Although a couple of new chapters have been added, the book basically presents the material and examples from the previous edition wrapped with "Swing" wherever applicable. If you already have a copy of Core Java 1.1 advanced edition and you been curious to visit the Sun's Java tutorial Web site for Swing and Java 2D examples, it is really not worthwhile buying this "Swing" wrapped edition.Plus, with books available in today's market that exclusively cover each of the topics presented in this book, I wonder what is it that is "advanced" one would learn from this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
