Re: learning java books/edu

["Brad Stone" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem I have with books like that is I feel that
AWT/Swing/Servets/JSP should be the last thing to learn.
Being a follower of the Joe Pluta Java <bg>, even though
most of what he says at the time goes over my head.  After a
couple weeks it makes sense after playing for a while.

But, to each his own.  I bet at least 80% of the Java
community does it this way.  Most other Java mail groups and
forums I am involved in show that people write procedural
Java code, instead of using good OO design.  Not saying
that's wrong, just not the way I prefer.
