Title: Very good complete study guide
Product review: This is a very good study guide with complete coverage on all SCJP 1.4 exam objectives. I have to admit that it not only served its purpose well in helping me passing the exam, but also filled me in on lots of Java language details that could easily fall through the cracks in day-to-day programming, and thus helped me gain a more thorough understanding of the language.The authors' ability of explaining complex topics (such as threading) in a clear straightforward way is the biggest strength of this book. The "Two Minute Drill" summarizes topics well and provides a concise reference. The examples could have presented more variations and tricky codes, because understanding the concepts is one thing, recognizing various code, specially those in format not so often seen, is a totally different thing.Overall, I highly recommend this book. Read it page by page, and do a lot of mock exams (a MUST!), then you should pass the exam with a good score.
