Format:Hardcover
I did get the Java Programmer's 1.1 Certification after studying this book (on first try, no additional classes). Well organized and nice layout for studying and the '2-in-1' is a great bargin compared to other Certification Guides. I personally did not find many errors in the text not mentioned in the online errata. Practice tests are similar to actual test, although there should be maybe 5 practice tests, rather than 2.
Reason for -1 star: CD-ROM was pitiful. It was only ~100k of information most of which was links to the 'pay as you go' courses. Needs to have several dozen more code examples and practice exam questions, otherwise, don't bother looking at it.
Format:Hardcover
I just finished the Developer Certification. I found the book to be a great reference for both the assignment, and particularly for the exam. Some of the questions on the exam I would not have thought about before taking it. I found I was well prepared going into the exam, which is a good thing given the short time limit.
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book for the practice exams. I found them challenging and reasonable with respect to the actual 1.1 programmer's certification exam. There were a few typos in the exams, but nothing that I consider major. I found the CDROM not useful. An automated test engine that presented sample questions, even limited to the two practice exams, would have been welcome.

Brief subject review but good practise tests
I started the book to prepare for the programmers certification but the errors and brief explanations made it necessary to refer other books to clear concepts. Read more

Don't have a good way of writing a book
I can tell that the author has a good knowledge of Java, and he is willing to share it with our readers. But too many icons make the book trivial. Error on page 147 (question 5). Read more

Insufficient by itself
Other readers have pointed out that there are errors in this book. Indeed it is true, even after you apply the errata available at the web site. Read more

This book covers all the important topics of the test.
The author should have covered the topics in more detail. However the tests of this book are very similar to the real test. Read more

Not bad, but beware!
The content and depth are quite appropriate for the Programmer certification. However, there are a surprising number of typos and mistakes scattered through out the book. Read more
