something went wrong

[Martijn Mulder]

The much appreciated 'Java in a Nutshell' by David Flanagan is followed by 'Java
Foundation Classes In a Nutshell' by the same author.

Now he no longer enumerates functions in alphabetical order (simple and
straight) but in some sort of 'logical order'. It renders the whole book almost
useless. Almost. Why?

Ask David Flanagan.

I for one think a "logical order" is almost always preferable to
alphabetic order. Ever tried to use the javadocs "all classes" page?

Provided there is a good, alphabetic index, of course.
