It's a poorly written book.

Finally I learn this hard lesson: One who knows something DOES NOT necessarily know how to teach it.

I was attracted by the impressive background of the author, and it's part of SUN's Java series. But I am stunned by the poor quality of the book as a teach-yourself material. Come on, Mr. Piroumian, of course you know this is a book for Java learners, not a RFC, or API specification. But it reads like the latter.

I got my Java Programmer Certificate two years ago and consider myself an experienced Java programmer. But, I couldn't follow the book. It's that a hard and boring read. Those examples are dry, non-intuitive and useless in real world. After finishing the book, I still don't know how to do some quite simple tasks.

Very disappointed.
