Guys
I heard a lot of good things abt this book. I bought one and it is definitly not for me. Very hard to read and remember for someone who used to regular textbooks which are filled with less/no distractions (extreneuos diagrams / photos/ pointers/jokes etc.)
It is just me? or is there anyone out there on this small planet who share my views.

Hi Sirisha,
you are not alone, so don't become afraid of yourself
. HF books best fit to my brain, however I know that this is definitly not the case for everyone.
I have a colleague who is a really good developer and I've shown him some of the HF books. Honestly I was astonished that he categorically denied the HF style.
I came to the following conclusion. This colleague is the best and fastest algorithm programmer I know. No one at our company can follow his explanations. This guy always like the complicated way and really can't do anything with the HF approach.
Using him in a one-man-show (project) is the best that can happen to him. He is one of those who like doing things in his own way. He is definitly not a team guy and the worst thing you can do on him is to put him into a team. Worst for himself and worst for any other in the team.
The HF style is laid out for team players not for the lonesome riders. You are taught a well understandable form and I belive that one is expected to behave in the same manner inside a team, open minded and not fearing others can steel one's ideas.
Regards,
Darya

Well, we'll certainly go back to the drawing board on some of this stuff, but I'd like to ask a question...
Did anyone 'get' that a lot of the 'team related' stuff in the book has to do with how Sun imagines large web apps being staffed? It's not so much that we're saying Rah-Rah let's everyone do it the way Sun recommends... it's just that in the J2EE arena, the certifications do, to varying degrees, test you on at least understanding Sun's recommendations for things like team makeup...
So I'm guessing from this thread that that idea didn't come through too well... is that right?
Thanks,
Bert
