The best book around

[Raghav Mathur]

HI
After clearing SCJP last year i wish to go for an scwcd. I haven't really worked on JSp's but yes i understand servlets and the architechture behind it . What i don't know is EJB's .
When i started preparing for SCJP , i was in a fix whether to buy mudghal or RHE . I bought RHE which i suppose is the best book around for SCJP .
I,am looking for a similar kind of book for scwcd. Please suggest me one
Thanks a ton in advance

Yes i had gone through this page and like i said when i stared studying for Scjp i had 2 options , one was Khalid and the other was Robert. I chose robert because of its simplicity and good explaination .
What i want to know is what is being used by most of you . People who have already appered for the exam can give me a good feedback as to which book is the most valuable and the best for certification study.
This my my motive of asking this question here on ranch rather then doing a vague search.
What do you say ?
Thanks in advance

The book Jessica recommends _is_ targeted to the SCWCP exam and does cover the SCWCP exam objectives. I mean: Isn't it self-evident by the title of the book ("SCWCD Exam Study Kit")?
Actually, please let me recommend it too. I have read the 15 first chapters (of 18) and I am very satisfied thus far.

And let me add another recommendation. I'm just now taking some of the mock exams with book and I'm very happy with them as well as the book.

[Panagiotis Varlagas]

That's good to hear.

hmmm...
So the bottomline is that SCWCD Exam Study Kit by Hanumant Deshmukh, Jigneh Malavia is the best book for scwcd examination.
