SCJP 1.4, SCWCD 1.4
My book does essentially the same - detailed explanations of all the exam objectives (and a little more too); best of all it's still in date with very few errors/typos. See my signature or Links for some independent reviews (you might find the "3 Steps to Success" review helpful in particular).If you really want to know the topics in detail and want to score well on the exam, I would suggest you also read Mannings SCWCD Study Guide (but be careful, lots of outdated stuff even in the new edition)
SCJP-1.5<br />SCWCD-1.4
That is such a wrong statement - there is no one single book which is the "right" book, just like there is no Web container which is the "right" one, nor any particular restaurant which is the only one you should go to. People on these forums (read, anywhere) can only provide you with recommendations and it is your decision what you purchase and read based on the information you receive.You guys put me in confusion. Please anyone suggest me the right book to read after HFSJ.
Once again, no-one can say if that one book is enough, or if HFSJ is in fact the book best suited to your learning style - it's totally your decision and yours alone.This book is enough or I need to read another book to take exam.

I agree with everything said above, except I can't remember ever saying that HFSJ covers only 80% of what you'll need for the exam. Did we really say that? Where? I do know that we forgot to discuss dynamic attributes, but Bryan wrote up a nice tutorial for that and it's available for free here at the ranch. Other than that I'd be very grateful to anyone who can let us know topics that we missed.
Thanks and good luck,
Bert
We used an 80/20 approach. We assume you're that if you're going for a PhD in JSP, this won't be your only book. So we don't talk about everything. Just the stuff that you'll actually need.
