I felt totally let down (ok thats diplomatic.. I felt totally cheated is the correct statement). The title and preface talks highly about this book. Nothing I found in this book which is "hardcore". They are pretty basic java. Also I found cases where this book actually suggests tricks and techniques which are pure bad practices. I would advice against reading this book to anybody who is contemplating to do so. I would also suggest safari to remove this book from their catalog, since the title and the preface in this book is highly misleading. A 1000 times better book which I would recommend to every Java developer is Effective Java by Joshua Bloch. |
