Except for various spelling and grammar errors ("softwares" for "software",
"transcient" for "transient" (although I am intrigued by the semantic
possibilities of "transcient")), this is really a very good site. At first
glance the information is accurate, useful and extensive. It is not
plagiarized. It is not your typical blogspam ripoff. It's a legitimate and
helpful set of notes from a Java programmer that aims to help the rest of us.

What a pleasant surprise. Keep up the good work, aditya.

Minor criticisms:

- Be sure to spell the language name, keywords, classes and methods correctly,
such as 'ObjectInputStream', "Java" (the language itself), 'instanceof' or
'hashCode()', including with respect to upper and lower case.

- Go through the site and correct the spelling, if not also the grammar, errors.

- The abbreviation "i.e." has a period after each letter, and is followed by a
comma, i.e., like this. Similarly for "e.g.".

- There is one major error in your notes on generics, where you incorrectly
claim that "[p]olymorphism dont [sic] apply for generics" and consequently
that "[g]eneric Methods [sic] wont [sic] accept polymorphic arguments". These
statements are quite false.

- It is partly false that "[i]n generic methods we cannot use add() method.
the method declaration will look something like this [examples with wildcards
follow]". You are correct but misleading in that you don't explain that it's
the effect of wildcards.

Otherwise it's an excellent site.
