Thanks especially to those who submitted feedback, either through e-mail or through the comment boxes at the bottom of each JavaWorld article. The feedback, especially criticism, was very helpful. In my next writing project, I hope to increase my interaction with readers, so please feel free to send in those comments. I expect to start the new JavaWorld column in a few months. Until then, have fun programming in Java, but don't work too much.
Life is short.
