Hi..
Yeah I too have just started to study and using the same Book.....Really good book by the way!
I graduated in Computer Science and I have been programming in C# for a couple of Years now!........But so far I have been studying and programming all over the net and studying from the book for 3 days now and I have Covered the first 2 chapters of the book Fully including the Threads chapter and a great deal of the Exception Chapter(Needs more time
)
the main thing is that
Java is very close to C# and the Objectives are close to what you would have in the C# books.....although even though the 2 languages are very similar it took me 3 to 4 long days of programming to just get to where I am now!.........And I still have a Long way to Go!!
Did you also find the Questions at the end of each chapter challenging
??.......I DID!
