Query: I was almost taken for a ride.

I bought the book in passing at the book store. because i was sure that my understanding of Java would undoubtedly increase if only to some small degree.We all know that Java is such an enormous beast of a programming language that although it's been tackled countless times, it seemingly can never be even partially conquered.So i gave ita shot.I read from page 1-120 on the first night, and returned the book to the book store the next day.There is more Java in my now-empty cup of coffee than there is in this entire book.Not one line of code in this book. That's right. Not one line of Java Code. There are however countless <PARAM> tags showing you basically how to use applets created and written IN JAVA by somone else.In short it shows you how to use other peoples java.I would have dipped into STUPID had i not brought the book back to the store the very next day, instead i reamain simply a DUMMIE for having bought it in the first place.
