Title: Dangerous Book for Your Certification
Review: I could not believe that the content of this book is not only of inferior quality, but also misleading you as certification candidates. Many concepts are presented flawed. For example, session variables are not thread safe! Some other concepts are explained blurry using terms that are not standard. It sounds to me that the authors and the editors really need to work on the content, word-by-word, to make this book at least worth for certification preparation book. I used Sybex's Study Guide for the Programmer Exam and found that book to be of high quality. But I am extremely disappointed with this book. I stopped using this book after reading 4 chapters and bought Hanumant Deshmukh's SCWCD Exam Study Kit (ISBN: 1-930110-59-6) and moved quickly to reading that book completely. With that book, I passed today the SCWCD exam with 94% score. For your background, I am a software professional with 5 years of high-level language experience.
