The author may very well be an experienced Java programmer. That being the case, the only justification for the typos in this very slight intro to Java 7 is that he just threw it together without paying much attention or running the code.An obvious example is his brief explanation of the new Path class. He suggests that if one uses:Path path = Paths.get("c:\\Temp\\temp");thatpath.getFileName()will return "temp.txt" which just isn't the case, it will return "temp" regardless (on Windows anyway) of whether or not there is a file that starts with that name or a folder that has that name or if there is nothing for the lowest level at all.I've given this thing two stars rather than 1 because it isn't completely useless: If you want a brief (took me 10 minutes to glance through it) idea of what's new in 7, it works. Just don't look for anyting but the concepts. Almost any of the online intros to 7 would be better.
