   These kinds of things, and many others, are reasons I usually advise 
shops that are just starting Java to bring in a trusted, knowledgeable 
resource, and take some real-life oriented classes if possible.  Instead, 
it's often "it's just another language, gotta code, gotta code."

   One local company was so disgusted that I wanted to teach fundamentals 
in an on-site class series that they cancelled after three sessions in favor 
of straight ahead coding.  My own estimation is that decision has cost them 
at least a quarter million dollars (people working there have larger 
estimates) while their users suffered, and continue to suffer, from those 
early attempts.
