Thanks all.
I would take an opportunity to express my regards and thanks to Roel De Nijs, Andrew Monkhouse and Roberto Perillo for their priceless help.
Roel, special credit goes to your timely replies on almost all my queries, due to which I could finish this certification in time. Thanks a lot!
Roberto, thanks a ton for your data class synchronization tests. Initially I was little skeptical with those tests (the reason being my code never failed your tests
), but later on, those tests saved me a great deal of time during further development.
Andrew, many many thanks to you for the wonderful book you have written. It answers a great deal of doubts about packaging and other details like documentation etc. Most importantly, it splits the project into different important areas. That is why when my threading and networking part was flawless, I was pretty sure that I will pass. However, frankly speaking, I did not expect such a nice score (385/400) due to my clumsy GUI (I'm still sure that those 15 marks I lost due to GUI only
)
Finally, thanks a lot to all coderanch contributors. This is my third
Java certification, but I'm using this forum for the first time (and I think I should've used it for other two certifications also
). This forum is simply great. There was not a single question from me which went unanswered. More importantly, I got replies in very short time and got a chance to actually discuss my doubts to great depth.
After 4 action-packed-weeks, now I guess I deserve some rest
and some refreshment
