Hi Olivier,
I just red the book from Kathy Sierra & Bert Bates and i passed the SCJP on march the 17th.:jumpingboy:
I didn't know you passed in March, I thought it was last week...
I would like to pass the Web component certification, but it 'll not be possible for the moment because i have to read some books (about ebj and architectural patterns) for your next courses
Argh! No luck!
Now all SUN certs are challenging and worth while the involvement.
The SCWCD cert recently was upgraded to 1.4 and - AFAIK - there is no cert book available yet for that new release.
If you intent to get multiple SUN certs, an alternative path could be to pass the SCBCD cert first (
EJB) which was released in September 2003 (from memory).
As you enjoyed studying for SCJP with
Kathy and Bert's Study Guide,
you should enjoy preparing for SCBCD with
Head First EJB as well.
Clear explanations, all cert objective covered and ... much humour as usual!
BTW, Kathy is one of the moderators of the
SCBCD forum, where she's incredibly helpful too.
Books aimed to the new SCWCD 1.4 cert will be available in the meantime (including
Head First Servlet &
JSP), making your prep much easier.
Best regards,
Phil.
