| Review |
This book is good not only for preparing for the Sun Java Certification exam, but is also a good way to master the Java language.
They have a number of code examples that are well explained, and there are good questions throughout the chapters to help you prepare for the all-important exam.
The book perhaps lacks in the wrong-answer explanations: there are times when more details should have been provided.
Bear in mind that this book is not designed for people without programming experience; you need not know Java to learn from this book, but you will need some programming background to find it useful.
Written in rather academic language (rather than step by step quick-learning techniques), the book also comes with the option to e-mail the authors with any additional queries you may have.

| Publisher's Note |
This book allows readers to master the Java programming language, teaching them what they need
to know to pass the Sun Certified Java Programmer Examination. In their approach, the authors
bring the sound pedagogical teaching practices from their university environment while bearing in
mind the practical result-oriented realities of the IT industry. No previous Java experience and only
some programming experience is required. Readers will also find that they can use this book as a
self-study guide.
