Is it still good? I see it was published in 1997.
I like the style of these books, and might read this one - I'm just worried that Java has changed quite a bit since then. Is it still, say, 90% OK?
- legerdemain 4y agoIt's mostly a novelty today. Felleisen is a programming language theorist, and him writing a little Java tutorial sounds absurd. The book itself takes you on a journey to reinvent the Visitor pattern, in a version of Java that predates generics. You can probably find a better explainer for the Visitor pattern in Java.
- bainsfather 4y agoThanks. I see it for sale for £4 second hand, so maybe I should buy it for the novelty value alone. I presume I shouldn't try to refresh my java from it though.
