I have a couple of old books from 2000 and 2001 regarding java
development, jdbc and jsp. Starting from scratch, can I still use them
to learn Java, (while I use Java 5 on my pc) without experiencing
significant obstacles? Did everything changed in 5 years, and those
books are obsolete and next to useless?
Thanks.
Hi,
For basic programming, I am still using the ones that I have bought on 2001 (simple AWT-later-Swing applications, trees, Network and some threads). They are not so obsolate. However, the best library is the web and the sun tutorials. If you check a little bit in the sun tutorials you will realise that the explanations are very similar (if not equal) to the official books (the case for JNI, Threads, Swing, etc).
bye,

PS: There are some free e-books on the web for java programming
