At the end of this tutorial, setTitle method should actually change the title "Build a Simple App" right? Since javaCourse has been re-assigned to point to another course object, the previously one should be deallocated automatically and thus no longer be able to pointe to...right?

21,239 PointsI don't know what you mean. Do you mean the object parameters would be replaced with the new object parameters? I think when a new instance is created it obtains a unique ID and the garbage collector wouldn't remove it until all references to the instance had been exhausted. So, the two new objects would be able to co-exist even though they have the same name.
I would be interested to know too what happens here!
