Mr. Khalid:
I want to say that your book is so good that I used the first edition to prepare for Java 1.4 and passed with a good score; but why did it take so long for the 2nd edition. I presume emphasise should be paid to timeliness; because I would have obtained the new edition for my Java 1.4 if it was out earlier.

Hi Anselm,
How r u? Long time no see... I remember u. I saw u in JDiscuss.com....
U said u got good score on the exam and why do u still want the second edition for the exam at that time?
For me, I didn't get a good score in SCJP 1.2... So now I'm planning for SCJP 1.4 and expect high score as well....

Glad to hear you found the first edition useful for the 1.4 exam as well.
Other obligations and commitments, delayed the completion of the second book.
Cheers,

Hi Koko:
I am not looking for the book for a test.
I need the book to keep abreast of the additions in Java and if possible use it for the 1.5 exam when it the time arrives. As a matter of fact, I so enjoyed the book that I would love to have every subsequent edition of the book that is published, because one thing I discovered about the book is unlike the one I used for the SCWCD; it does not make you feel like its only purpose is for the exam; but SCWCD book sometime skip topics or treats topics without emphasise just because th topic in question is not in the exam. I understand the book was made for the exam though.

Anselm, which book are u referring about the SCWCD? The "SCWCD Exam Study Kit" of Mr.Hanumant? I believe that the book is really good and it even states that we will be going to use it, even after passing the exam... I think most of the readers recommend that book for SCWCD...
Yes, I think M&R Book is good as a reference and of course for the exam as well... It's good that u r following the book as the new edition coming up one by one...
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
