Having examined the boards and weighed up the costs, I have elected to take the 1.5 Certification exam. After a mad scramble around various websites and bookshops, I eventually bought a book in a shop (shock horror) as this was the only way I could guarantee having a
java cert book that would cover 1.5.
The book I eventually bought was Phil Heller and Simon Roberts' Complete Java 2 Certification 5th edition (compatible with 1.5).
Now, however, I am having doubts; and the root of it is this: Is 1.5 simply 1.4(2) with some extra stuff on top, or is some stuff from 1.4 being scrapped? or to make it simpler is the following correct:
1.4 + stuff = 1.5
This was my initial understanding, but could someone please confirm this? Basically it would suck if I ended up with a cert that no one really wants right now.
Thanks
Mike
