Brian, 

I am reading a book called Head First Java b/c I want
to learn Java as Java and Perl are a good mix of
technologies to know.  In this book there are many
small snippets of code that are short and sweet,
questions and spaces for me to write down what I think
is the right answer then at then end of the chapter
are the correct answers explained, what code snipeets
are wrong and why they are wrong etc. Overall just a
lot of tutoring and "show me how to do this" type
examples.  
Do you plan on have sections where the reader can
answer and write down answers to questions within each
chapter? Do you plan on having some of the examples I
listed above?

thanks
derek
