(3.5) Reasonable reference

I actually used this as a primer on what's changed in Java world since 2000 and Java 2. This isn't the intended purpose of this book (more of a quick reference), but worked well enough for what I needed and might prove useful in the future. We'll see: I read this on Kindle and haven't done so for a reference book before.

There were quite a few typos, including some in code examples (!) (that even as a re-newbie I could recognize) that could trip up anyone new to the language that I hope will be addressed. Sadly, you can't submit corrections via the Kindle iOS app so I didn't report them to the authorities.
