Hi Andres,
I don't think that JQPlus is with SCWCD Study Kit... But JWebPlus is with the book.... I have read that book for three times already and I'm on my way to the new SCWCD in January as well...![]()

I am going outside now to bury my head in the sand. I think I need to take some time off. Even my wife is getting annoyed with me as I am permanently reciting stuff to myself that I memorised. I answer "Andre, have you fed the cats" with "Java is not C++", and "Is there enough milk for tomorrow" with "Protected, Public and Private". I wonder if there is a support group for Spouses of Certificate Candidates.

In fact, I think beginners to Java should put as much work, if not more work into OO principals as they do with the language itself. What do you think?

BTW, is there any chance that the free downloadable SCJP exam engine will someday come with correct answers (maybe, even explanations)?

But if u want to have a deeper understanding of the java language and at the same time pass the exam, Then Khalid's book is better.
For me the combination of the two worked as I scored 98% and also got additional about java which wud be useful in future.

While resting at the bar, he orders a pint of Guinness. While enjoying his first sip of the thick and creamy brew, he notices a beautiful red head walk over to the bar and sit down next to him. As he is getting ready to hit on her, he wants to make sure that he uses his best line. The first idea that pops into his head is a question concerning the difference between overriding an instance method and hiding a class method. He wants to make sure that he has all of his answer options straight. The mood is festive and he's in a pub so he's thinking about referring to K&B. At that instant, he remembers that M&R is highly recommended as a reference book. He confused. Which book should he use!

The choice the SCJP aspirant makes will depend on his level of intoxication.
If he is drunk, he will opt for the S&B book.
If he is sober, he will opt for the M&R book.
So, good luck to the SCJP aspirant.
And drink up!
Bottoms up!
Down the hatch!
Sk�l!

Solveig,
You have made some good points. From the perspective of theory, I think that both books adequately address the concept of overriding an instance method. Even so, as has been pointed out in another thread, the exam and both study guides fall short in the area of practical information such as dating and pickup techniques. I have not yet read your book, but it appears to fill the void.
