5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best developer cert book!, January 14, 2003
By "wickedlysmart" (Colorado USA) - See all my reviews
And I say that having just released a book on the same topic. If you can buy only one book on the developer exam, buy Habibi's book. It's focused on giving you what you need to actually implement the project that you must submit for your developer certification. It teaches you step-by-step how to design and write code for the project. It has a friendly, interesting, easy-to-understand style, and the certification candidates on javaranch REALLY like this book a lot.
My book, on the other hand, is focused almost entirely on the SCJP (nearly 3/4 of our book is SCJP), although it does have a "bonus" section on the SCJD which talks almost exclusively about how the developer project is *assessed*. So while my book goes into great detail about theSCJD *assessment*, it does virtually nothing to help you create your developer *project*.
There has some confusion around the title of my book (not my choice, unfortunately), because it *does* have the SCJD exam in the name, but my co-author and I strongly suggest that if you are already an SCJP and are now preparing for only the SCJD, that you get Habibi's outstanding book rather than ours.
Of course, if someone drops a huge Amazon.com gift certificate in your lap, well, then might as well get both ; )

4.0 out of 5 stars SCJD Exam with J2SE 5, June 12, 2006
This review is from: SCJD Exam with J2SE 5, Second Edition (Expert's Voice in Java) (Paperback)
Let's face it. The Sun Certified Java Developers Exam is tough. If you are serious about passing, this is an excellent book for anyone wishing to avoid the common pitfalls associated with many of the projects. The authors reveal various approaches to many of the issues that need to be resolved, discussing both the advantages and disadvantages of each. I found the authors' information on Threading, Building the GUI, logging, configuration, RMI vs. Sockets and "putting it all together" all extremely helpful.

Even though the book has already helped me pass the exam, I will continue to refer to it, because it is filled with great information that applies to development in the real world, as much as it does in the SCJD Exam.

5.0 out of 5 stars great preparation and guidance for SCJD, April 24, 2006
This review is from: SCJD Exam with J2SE 5, Second Edition (Expert's Voice in Java) (Paperback)
The SCJD exam is tough and time-consuming. It requires a good deal of effort. So no surprise there are only like two books out that cover this topic. Fortunately, this book does a great job.
I'm an experienced developer, so I was already familar with many of the concepts covered in the book. Where this book was valuable to me was in the guidance it provided through the SCJD process. It helped me complete the assignment faster (I did it in half the time I had originally estimated). And gave me more confidence when it was time to submit my work.
