If you are studying to become a Sun Certified Programmer for the Java 2 Platform 1.4 this book will help you to receive not just a passing grade but an excellent understanding of the intricacies of the Java programming language. Mughal and Rasmussen aren't satisfied with simply giving you a minimal understanding of Java so that you can pass a test. They are interested in helping you to understand the language at a deeper level. After all, it is much easier to pass the certification exam when you actually understand the material rather than when you have simply memorized a lot of details.
I'll give you an example of the level of detail that the book covers. Section 5.2 of the book covers Selection statements. The section starts with a description of the if statement followed by an activity diagram which explains the flow of the statement. The authors then show a simple example followed by a clear explanation of the if statement. Then they do the same with if-else, this time using several examples. The same level of detail follows for the switch statement, again providing clear text, with a simple activity diagram, followed by several well explained examples. Finally, the section ends with several review questions. What this means is that this book can serve you well even after you have passed the certification exam. You will be hard pressed to find a better written reference.
The book covers all the information you need to pass the certification exam and covers the material needed to connect all the pieces together. The included CD has several mock exams with questions that will help you understand the type of questions that you will face on the actual exam. If you do well on the mock exams you will do well on the real thing. Overall, this is an excellent book for studying for the Java certification. But it is such a good reference that you will want to keep it nearby even after you have passed the certification.

What Can I say, I bought this book recently, half expecting that I would end up buying another to support the material. but I was seriously wrong this book has everything you need to know to pass the exam. Detail and explanations are clear as crystal enabling the reader to get the full idea of whats actually happening and why in code. I read the book in 4 days and took the exam and passed first time with only this book.

I used the previous edition of this book to easily pass the Java 2 1.4 exam, and would have done even better with this edition. The mock exam questions were of a high standard; I thought they were pitched at a slightly higher level than the exam itself. I'd recommend this book over the others if you want to pass the exam and learn the core java language in a rigorous way, rather than just to pass the exam.
