Need to know about HFSJ

[aresh babu]

Hi i cleared scjp with 93% and now i am interested to prepare for SCWCD.
So anyone can tell me about what is HFSJ and how is it useful to prepare for SCWCD.

[Ulf Dittmer]

It's a book; see the first entry on the http://faq.javaranch.com/java/ScwcdLinks

[Sandeep Bhandari]

and never forget to read the servlet and jsp specification

[liao Yang]

Hi Sandeep

Do you mean to read through the two specs? or just refer it when you have a question?

How about the JSTL spec?

Thank you

[Vijitha Kumara]

How about the JSTL spec?

Yes. That's also as important as other two.

Its really necesary read the specifications?

[Matthias De Scheerder]

Well, I couldn't get myself to reading the spec (tried briefly but failed miserably ) but I managed to pass the exam with 97%. So as far as the exam is concerned, reading the spec isn't necessary.

[Michael Ku]

I passed the exam using only HFSJ and coding what I leearned in HFSJ.

[Sandeep Bhandari]

I would recommend just skimming through the specs.

There are some topics which come in exam but are not covered in HFSJ.

also give a reading to "SCWCD Exam kit" by Manning

[Bert Bates]

Hi Sandeep,

Please tell us which topics we forgot to include!!

Thanks,

Bert

I think dynamic attributes was one of them...

[Christophe Verré]

I think Sandeep is referring to the first edition of the book.

[Justin Rundle]

Perhaps you right, I just finished ready the 2nd Edition and it was fantastic very informative and interesting read. More so the 2nd Edition did include dynamic attributes with an example related to the html <select> tag.
