Title: Tremendous Style
Review: This is the 4th Java Book I've read (should have been the first). This guy is an amazing instructor! He seems to know exactly the right questions to ask to not stump you but instead to get you to pull out the right answer in such a way that you'll remember it. I've read Deitel & Deitel's book on Java2, and while it is thorough, it seems like they try to make you feel inadequate. They ask questions in such a way that by the time I'm done answering it I'm frustrated and feeling like "Am I ever gonna get this?". Mr. Schildt asks the questions in his "1-minute drill" and "Mastery Check" sections in such a way that not only can you answer it correctly, but in a way that when you think about your answer you've also remembered it in such a way that it sticks. How does he do it?! I don't know, but I hope he keeps doing it! Terrific instruction Mr. Schildt!
