Book Description
The Sun Certified Java Developer Exam with J2SE 1.4 takes a two-pronged approach, introducing the new features of J2SE 1.4 in the context of projects structured to mirror the Sun Certified Java Developer (SCJD) examination. Upon reading this book, youll master the new features of J2SE 1.4 while preparing yourself for the exam.
To begin, youll find discussion of the SCJD exam and the expectations of the programming assignment. Youll begin a sample project that develops throughout the book, each component building upon your knowledge of new J2SE 1.4 features.
Assuming a certain level of Java skill, this book excludes introductory Java concepts and gets right to what you need to know for the exam. Youll dig into the important J2SE 1.4 concepts that are vital for passing. If you intend to earn Java certification, The Sun Certified Java Developer Exam with J2SE 1.4 offers a supremely practical means for getting the jump on the latest Java features.

This is the only SCJD book worth a damn,
By Stan (Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sun Certified Java Developer Exam with J2SE 1.4 (Paperback)
I've looked through alomst all the other books out there, and this is the only one that has a complete, honest, and easy to understand approach to the SCJD. It's a classic, and useful long after the exam.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Good book,
By Hector (Austin,TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sun Certified Java Developer Exam with J2SE 1.4 (Paperback)
Nice, hard, technical book: gave my details on all the stuff I needed. I looked at some of the other books out there, and this one was the only one that seemed current and focused.

Best Book on SCJD Available,
By George Marinkovich (Gaithersburg, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sun Certified Java Developer Exam with J2SE 1.4 (Paperback)
I recommend this book because I found it to be valuable in helping me to pass the Sun Certified Java Developer (SCJD) Exam with a perfect score (400/400). This is simply the best book available for those working on the SCJD Exam. Alain Trottier's "Java 2 Developer Exam Cram 2," is a distant second. Those are the only two books available that cover this exam in an in-depth manner. Books that attempt to cover both the Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP) and SCJD exams generally seem to do a good job of covering the programmer's exam, but are significantly less comprehensive when it comes to the developer's exam. This book develops a sample project that is analogous to the project required for the SCJD examination. The complete source code is available for downloading from the publisher. The design and implementation issues explored in the sample project are similar to those required in order to successfully complete the exam. Those expecting to download the sample project, make a few cosmetic alterations, and upload the result as their exam submission will be disappointed. On the other hand, those who feel they would benefit from seeing what a complete solution to a similar problem looks like, and who would like some specific guidance about how to approach the various issues surrounding the project will be happy to have this book. Another nice feature of this book is that it provides links to some other very helpful resources. The most useful of these is http://www.javaranch.com, an excellent Java site that provides an indispensable developer certification discussion forum for those working on the SCJD. It's the best place to go with your SCJD questions. Mehran (Max) Habibi, one of the authors of this book, is a contributor to that discussion forum.
