5.0 out of 5 stars It worked for me, 28 Jan 2009
By Mr. J. Reah (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The syllabus for the SCJP exam for Java 6 includes a huge amount of material, but this book covers the lot. The authors don't claim that it's a tutorial, and I must say that my own experience with other languages helped me a lot, but even so the authors do a great job of introducing their topics in a basic and simple way, then developing the discussion to a point where you are ready to tackle their sample exam questions (answers and explanations included) which will more than prepare you for the real exam. Apart from using Eclipse for writing code, this book was my only learning resource and I got 86% (pass mark 65%). Thoroughly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great study guide but could be improved, 15 Jul 2009
I found this book thorough and the sample questions good. However, I did the 1.4 certification 5 years ago so am somewhat familiar with the subject matter and I found several mistakes in the information they give. My biggest frustration though has been where the authors have used concepts before they introduce them. Take Chapter 7, for example. It begins with Collections and then goes onto Generics. However, they constantly use Generics in the Collections examples, even though these have not yet been explained. They also use boxing before introducing it. There are 10 chapters, some of which are desperately long. It would be far more manageable in smaller chunks. That said though, it's still a very good book and I would definately recommend it, providing you keep your wits about you!

1.0 out of 5 stars If it's like SCJP 5 ..., 27 April 2009
By Ja Lowry - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If it's like the Java 5 version, it's very long on explanation and almost non-existent on practice.
For example, chapter 3 is almost 90 pages long and has 2 exercises, one of which is trivial, the second nearly so. Then there are 14 practice questions. You're supposed to study with this????

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much information
To pass the SCJP 6 exam there is a lot of information to assimilate. Sadly this book fails to deliver the information in a succinct and easily digestable format. Read more

This is a fantastic book that cover 100% of the SCJP exam. Of course it is also very very long to study, over 600 pages. Good
