Sun certified programmer developer for java 2 study guide pdf

But I had committed to taking the exam, so I prepared anyway. I read the book twice and did all the questions at the end, studying the answers ca The book seems good at what it is designed for.

I read the book twice and did all the questions at the end, studying the answers carefully. The real exam had virtually none of the dumb trickery that the practice stuff had. So I'd say the book did a good job of tricking me into studying more than enough to pass the exam--I wish I had spent less time preparing, although I am happy with the result. If anything, the book's practice questions may be overly discouraging and difficult--they might cause some folks to give up on taking the real exam who ought to press ahead anyway.

Feb 12, Ahmed rated it it was amazing. Here is the thing, want to prepare for the SCJP 6 exam? This is the book to read. It tackles each of the 38 objectives of the exam in great detail and a very neatly-organized chapter structure. The book assumes no prior knowledge of the topics, just that you know your way around Java programming- compiling and running programs. Get that book. View 2 comments.

This is a very well-done certification-prep book. It is informative, has great sample test questions, and is often funny in a geeky, nerd sort of way though the promised twist ending is something of a dud. The only complaint I had was that it needed more exercises. It gave great examples, but didn't have the reader actually try them out enough. If not for that, it would have been 5 stars.

Recommended for anyone studying for the exam. Jul 10, Santhosh Kumar rated it really liked it. Why you're reading the book matters. If it's to clear the exam it's the best that there is. If you're reading this to "learn" java. You should understand that you're "learning" java not learning how to use java. It's just a different way of saying that you're learning the fundamentals in quite a detailed manner, which is good.

Not recommended for beginners though, as it travels wide discussing Java concepts, but doesn't delve deeply into individual topics.

A must-read if you feel you are at an intermediate level of Java programming. Aug 12, Vadim rated it really liked it. A truly fascinating and easy to read book about Java.
