I want to thank the authors for this book, which helps me a lot achieving new levles in java coding ;)
I have one minor suggestion for the second edition of this book. I would appreciate if the examples you chose for clarifying certain point would be understandable for an international readership - for example I simply didn't get the diner talk on page 26 - what's a 'C.J. White' for example?
Otherwise keep up the good work and have fun.
Achim


p.s.
the socket and the ac adapter shown seemed british to me and not (continental) european :^P

    Achim,

    On page 26 in the left bubble, you'll find the descriptions of all the sandwiches. They correspond exactly to the names in the right bubble. So C.J.White is the first sandwich in the list on the right, so it corresponds to a "Cream cheese with jelly on white bread".

    Regarding the British looking socket and ac adapter - they are British. Silly us, we thought Britain was part of Europe.

    We're very glad to hear that the book is helping you! Thanks for the review.

    Beth
