5.0 out of 5 stars book for the exam, this is (as Yoda says), Jul 5 2004
By Balaji Sathyanarayana "sbalajirao" (Somerville, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sun Certified Programmer & Developer for Java 2 Study Guide (Exam 310-035 & 310-027) (Paperback)
I'm an experienced Java programmer. I passed the SCJP(310-035) with 98% (answered 60/61) recently. This is *THE* book. Everything is very well explained, gets you hooked on like a novel. The mock exams were very similar to the real one I faced. I recommend this book to any experienced Java programmer planning to take up the exam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helped me pass, Jul 1 2004
By Todd D. Farmer (United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sun Certified Programmer & Developer for Java 2 Study Guide (Exam 310-035 & 310-027) (Paperback)
I passed the SCJP with 93%. This book was my primary reference while preparing. It covered the topics well, and more importantly, introduced me to the various (and indirect) ways those topics would be tested on the exam.

I found it useful to compile and run some of the code (don't use an IDE). The practice exams identified some areas I was weaker in, and I made sure to write some test code that would make me more familiar with those areas. It helped me get comfortable with garbage collection, bitwise operators, threads and inner classes. I was familiar with those topics before, but rarely had to implement them in code. Integrating the code snippets into code took very little time, and helped me understand those topics better. I also chose to not use an IDE so that when I made a mistake, I had to go and figure it out myself rather than have the IDE catch it up front.

Of course, the mock exam links on www.javaranch.com are very useful. I took as many tests as I could, even ones that were clearly created for previous versions of the exam.

Over all, the book did what I purchased it for: it helped me to pass the SCJP. It didn't give me all the answers, and I had to put into practice some of the information presented to make it sink in effectively, but that's what I expected.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent preparation tool for passing the SCJP exam, Jun 9 2008
By Jim Tough (Vancouver, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
I used this book and the included "Master Exam" exam simulator software to prepare for the Sun Certified Java Programmer certification exam for Java 5. I passed with a score of 86%. Most of the points lost were on the tricky "threads and concurrency" section, but I don't blame the study guide for that!

Each section of the book starts by describing the exam objectives that are related to the material that section covers. It will even tell you what aspects of Java are NOT on the exam so you don't need to spend valuable study time on those areas. Each chapter ends with a review section that is in point form, so you can use it to cram right before the exam. You also get a series of practice questions at the end of the chapter that will confirm whether or not you are absorbing the material. If you have done the assignment questions, you should have no problems.

I very highly recommend this book! I am looking forward to the soon-to-be-released Java 6 version of the study guide so I can brush up before taking the Java 6 SCJP upgrade exam.
