Murach's Java programming is a classic Murach book aimed at Java enthusiasts. Following Murach's paired-paged style, with the left page for explanations and the right page for syntax, guidelines and examples, the book drives the reader into the Java world. It even goes a bit beyond the language syntax, by providing chapters on JDBC using the Derby database, and a chapter about XML handling. Each chapter ends with practical hands-on exercises. The IDE used throughout the book is Netbeans. The book is fast paced, maybe because explanations are kept to a minimum, so whether or not beginners are the target audience is debatable. Object-oriented programming needs time to assimilate so some people might find chapters on that subject lacking depth. The book is enjoyable, but I'd recommend it to people with an object-oriented background rather that to complete beginners.

I give this book 7 out of 10 horseshoes.

Does ArrayList extend another class, which already implements some methods from the List interface ?

1Password security FAQ

I'll never never trust online services to store passwords, no matter how safe they may look like. Like Matthew, I'm using KeePass, so that I can access my password both from Linux and Windows.

May I ask you why you marked this topic as resolved ? If it is solved, could you share the way you solved it ?

I see a productID in your bean, not an ID.

A nine-buttons mouse ?? Wow. Are they selling three-headed hammers too ?

I keep things in my head I figured out that I'd never look again at things I'd gathered on paper (or any other media).

It's the one listed in our JavaBeginnersFaq.

There's a link in that page, titled "Chapter 3, Methods Common to All Objects". Click it.
Or click here.

Read Chapter 3 of Effective Java.

What are you asking for ?

Learn to use the "man" command.
-> man cat
-> man vi

"cat" will outputs the content of the file, while "vi" is an editor which allows you to edit the file. Apparently, "vi" is a bit to early to use.

There are many. Depending on what you mean by 'view'. For example, you can use 'vi'.

There are different ways to output data to a file. Check the FileWriter class, which allows you to append to an existing file instead of overwriting it.

Shouldn't it be indexOfDuplicate[j] != 1 then ? (instead of indexOfDuplicate[i] != 1)
