Title: Shame O'Reilly, shame!
Review: I picked up this book to cover multilingual charset issues, which are missing in all the standard Java resources but neatly listed in this title's contents/index. Great, I thought, something for those of us who speak English but sell software to the other 93% of the world.After I had laid my [money] down at the bookstore, I found out the sordid truth- the author is a newbie in regards to the multilingual issues but didn't let it stop him from writing down some shockers. To be nice, he probably got a little enthusiastic about Java's genuinely wide multilingual capabilities and tried to promote it, but some parts of this book are anti-education, end of story...
