Wondering about certifications?

This book is an EXCELLENT source of what to know and how to go about finding it out, when it comes to certifications. Ed Tittel knew what he was doing when he put these words to paper, and into a book. I highly recommend this to someone who wants to get started in the computer certification areas.

Not one single misprint!

I read this book carefully and did not find any mistakes or misprints. I enjoyed it and learned a great deal from it. Yet, having said that, I feel it is necessary to follow a reading of "Java2 Exam Cram" with the purchase and subsequent reading of "The Complete Java 2 Certification Study Guide" from Sybex press. I feel that it is only by reading BOTH of these books that one has the fundamentals necessary to take the Java 2 programmer exam. Each of these books fills in cracks left in the other book. "Java 2 Exam Cram" covered some topics, such as GridBag Layout, that according to the Sybex book are not required for the Java 2 certification exam. "Java 2 Exam Cram" in some of the later chapters tended to be a little overwhelming on a first reading. However, I found that when I later began reading the Sybex book, "J2 Exam Cram" had gotten my learning curve up high enough on the difficult topics so that reading the Sybex book felt painless and pleasantly easy. It would be foolish for anyone planning to take the Java2 Certification test to not buy "Java 2 Exam Cram". I feel a lot of hard work and care was put into writing it. A 2nd edition based on user experiences with the book would surely result in the rewriting of some chapters, but in this imperfect world I find this book to be above average in quality and utility. I value "J2 Exam Cram" more highly than huge, overly long tombs such as Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in Java". I easily finished reading "J2 Exam Cram" in two weeks. Eckel's book takes at least 3 months to read by which time one has forgotten what was in the earlier chapters. In the fast changing world of programming, I am getting increasingly frustrated and turned off by LONG programing books. Java 2 Exam Cram is just the right length. By the way, the Sybex book, "The Complete Java 2 Certification Study Guide" is also a short book that is a fast and pleasant read, despite it being 3 inches thick, owing to the fact that the chapters are short, the fonts are large, and it is double spaced.
