Kathy and Bert. Thank you. Wish we could clone both of you and send your


genetic copies to the rest of the world to evangelize Java.


I live in Asia, so you can probably guess that your book has made an impression


here. I learned basic Java and OO programming earlier this year and we had


a good course instructor.However, your book managed to crystallize some powerful concepts which I wanted to know but was too 'dumb' to ask in class.


I like the way you explain the use of Interface and use of pictures to explain


multi-inheritance and how Interface works. I like the chapter on serialization


and file I/O too. I have just finished an intermediate Java course and I wish my instructor had a picture showing the transition from 100% local apps to 100% remote apps as shown in your book. I like your Top Ten Reference section. Although, I know 'Strings are Immutable' but I have gained new insight after reading your comments on its impact on memory usage.


Please continue to produce more Head First Java books.
