Nik,
The book "Head First Java" is a great book for the beginners to Java language. I personally found it very helpful. However this is obviously not and exhaustive source as to be a certification perparation material. I highly recommend this book if you are new to the Java language, but in order to perpare for the exam you definitely need another, more advanced book on Java.

I hope this helps.

As Alex said, if you are new to Java, you will probably need at least 2 books: One to teach you Java (like Head First Java or Thinking in Java), and then another to specifically prepare for the exam. Certification books generally assume that you already have a good foundation in the material, and help you focus and sharpen those skills.

As Marcus said, you need to change your display name to meet the JavaRanch Naming Policy. To maintain the friendly atmosphere here at the ranch, we like folks to use real (or at least real-looking) names, with a first and a last name. You can edit your name here.

Thank you for your prompt attention, and enjoy the ranch!

-Marc
 
I don't get it. A whale wearing overalls? How does that even work? It's like a tiny ad wearing overalls.
