Hi
I got this online edition of "Tricks of the java programming gurus". I read the contents(chapters) to see what's about and it's got a bunch of cool topics. Then I saw the year, 1996. Are n't there any other books that cover the same topics, but just not so old?
I did a quick search and found this (which I think is what you're referring to):
http://docs.rinet.ru/JaTricks/I must say that it does look like a lot of good stuff, but the fact that it's so dated will make some of it pretty useless. In the intro, it's talking about Java being around for only about a year, and the current version being 1.0.
My advice would be to look around for more recent books. There are plenty of ebooks out there worth stealing that will help you learn whatever you want in java.
