    Default For Newbies: Do you understand the Java API specification?

    Purpose of this poll is to understand the effects of posting links to the Java API specification when answering a post:

    Java Platform SE 6
    • I don't understand how to use it (I hate links to it)
    • I do understand it (great when there's a link to it)
    • I want to know how to understand & read it
    • Forget it... too difficult to understand

    EDIT: Multiple selection enabled !!!

    Thanks,
    CJSL

    It does, gives me an understanding of the API's and how to use them.
    But I'm being fast tracked kind of helps with 40+ J2EE programmers sitting around me :)

    Thanks Chris for starting such a nice thread. :)

    And also I don't think lots of experienced members can be confused on this too ;) Anyway I don't want to comment on this thread.

    Suggestion: Multiple options allowed here Chris.
