what is the main difference between SCWCD or SCBCD?

The main difference ? They are completely different. One is about servlets/jsp, the other about EJB/JPA. Go to Oracle's homepage to check the details.

Hi Arjun,
Congrats for your SCJP. and for SCWCD or SCBCD. SCWCD is for web applications. (i.e) Servlets and Jsp. whereas, SCBCD is for Enterprise Component (EJB) so you decide what you want to do. and the prefered book for SCWCD is Head first servlets and jsp by cathy seirra and bert bates, another is SCWCD 1.4 Books Study Guide by hanumant deshmukh.

Hope this helps and once again congrats for SCJP

thanks a lot pravin and sherrif for the reply.
i think SCWCD is for me.
but first of all i think i have to go for basics of servlet and jsp,then proceed to certification knowledge.
isn't it?
or should i start directly reading the kathy siera book for scwcd?

Head First Servlets & JSP will teach you everything from the basics. You can use it, even if you don't plan to go for the certification.
