Great Article John, currently I am learning Java, I am reading Headfirst java book, but... but it's a bit disappointing to read a book talking about java 5.0 and now we are on 15 and 16. Does it make a difference? IDK.

when I read your article, I felt a bit overwhelmed, and I need too much more to do, also it's teaching about swing, isn't that outdated? I heard of Javafx, It looks more modern(I saw some created GUIs). I read ~350 pages from ~650, what is left is the following:
1- Swing
2- Serialization and file i/o
3- networking and threads
4- collections with generics
5-package, jars, and deployment
6- remote deployment with RMI
what do you think is the best thing to do now??
