hello william barker. I am sort of new to java and i happened to download an
e-book on java from the net and it is pretty good( well it's alright i guess)
and if you want then maybe i could send it to you via email. it is about 27
chapters . it would ne hard for me to remember the exact location of the e-book
so tell me what you think about this.
