Thinking in Java - Fondamenti

The book's practical approach really stood out to me, but I'm curious whether the author planned this style from the start or if it evolved during writing.

Some sections felt dense, especially when complex concepts were introduced. Was this intentional to push readers, or could it be simplified for better accessibility?

Considering the rapid evolution of programming languages, I'm wondering if this book still holds up for beginners or if there are newer favorites among programmers.
