Because I enjoy learning using diagrams (among other things), I perked up when I saw that there were "Unique diagrams to illustrate important concepts, such as Java I/O, modules, and streams."   Would you say that they are used to supplement, moreso, and/or teach?  Are there any great "memory joggers" (possibly For Dummies style)?

I've read a few chapters of the book till now and I think the diagrams/figures can be divided into two categories. 1) The figures which show heirarchy of classes/interfaces and 2) figures which explain execution flow or concepts in general. The 1st category of figures (along with the tables) act as a good reference and the index helps find them easily. Regarding the 2nd category if you check the index, some of the chapters like Streams and Multi-Threading have a plethora of diagrams which greatly help understand the runtime flow of programs and concepts like Thread states. I really enjoyed reading the concurrency chapters, it is one of my faviorite topics.

For disclosure, I got a review copy of the book from publisher but these opinions are my own.

Hi Charles,

Diagrams, tables, and complete runnable examples are all integral in teaching a topic.
Many tables provide summaries of important concepts as "memory joggers". (If I understand this term correctly.)
A few examples of such tables: overriding vs. overloading, arrays vs. lists, and switch statements vs. switch expressions.
The copy-righted images below will give you an idea of kind of diagrams in the book.
