Is this a good tutorial?

[106498]

I found a tutorial on game programming in java and was wondering if it is any good. It looks promising but it is very long and I don't want to cram my brain with useless information. If someone could please tell me what they think about it I would be very thankfull.
The url is:

Totally outdated (How old is it? 10 years?) and a really painful color scheme.

First learn the basics of the language. Any semi decent book will do the trick. After that take a look at:

Netscape 4? WTF? Isn't that thing also like 10 years old?

Try Firefox or Opera (a current version... don't get em from some browser archive again o_O).

The fact that the article talks about 1996 as "the future" and about Java 1.0 as the latest might be problematic.

Nah! Chapter 8, Quiz, Question 3: How is interrupt 16h used to handle key presses? Sooooo Java!
