Just great, 2008-10-11
An excellent book that might be actually be a good buy, without regard for the certification, for a Java beginner. I am one, and was advised to start from Eckel's "Thinking in Java". I am so glad I did not. (Wish I could read Sierra's "Had First Java", though).

Amazing, 2008-08-30
it's a very well written book, with good examples and a lot of tests which is quite enough to prepare you for java 1.5 or java 1.6 certification.

Good book, lousy e-book, 2008-08-15
Readable, approachable, perhaps even to a fault, this study guide does a good job of describing and preparing a ready for the SCJP exam. The book occasionally obsesses on what I'd call trick questions which delve a little too deeply into syntactic molasses. Concepts like multi-dimensional arrays, run-time versus compile-time, and variable arguments are often tested in a single question.

I took one star away for the CDROM content, specifically the e-Book. The content looks like it came directly from a Distiller-like product with zero treatment at all. A html "Table of Contents" is unreasonably course. It only list chapters. An index is unavailable. The e-book is split by chapter. Security prevents cutting or pasting, printing, or re-distilling into a one-stop searchable monolithic source. So really, the e-book has been castrated into something completely unusable. In short, why bother?

Price is accurate as of the date/time indicated. Prices and product availability are subject to change. Any price displayed on the Amazon website at the time of purchase will govern the sale of this product.
