Title: Book Re-Use
Review: This book goes down very easily, the explanations of difficult concepts are quite good, and the examples are fun and demonstrative. However, it is clearly a barely updated version of the TY Java 1.0x book! They simply threw in some Caution! notes and changed a sentence here and there. Obviously, they were not diligent enough, because MANY of the examples contain deprecated code, rendering them useless. Chapters 12-14 are read-only unless you search for the appropriate JDK1.2 syntax elsewhere.
