Thanks for all of your support. By answering questions, I refresh my memory. The KB book has a lot of details and there is no way for me to memorize all. That is why my tip to everyone is to study virtually with other Java Ranchers. I will access to Java Ranch to try to answer questions to see if I can help. I honestly recommend all
test takers to review all self-tests from Chapter 1 - 10. Even though Chapter 8 is not in the objective, it is still an important chapter.
I decide to take the OCMP exam later, but I need to short break first.
Passing the OCPJP 6.0 is a just a nice beginnig for me.
I was burnt out because I spent night time, weekends, holidays studying for the exam for one whole year.
Also, I will continue my continuing education from University of California, Irvine and University of California , Santa Cruz. Both schools provide us very good extension programs to learn J2EE, C#, Python, OO Design and my favorite topic, design
pattern.
I highly recommend these learning opportunities.
I would like to thank my computer science professors from California State Polytechnic Univeristy, Pomona. They helped me a lot to build the foundation. Hashtable, priority queue, linkedlist, java/javac /classpath, OOP, multiple threading, parrell processing... are no stranger to me. I would like to thank my co-workers in my past 6 years who mentored me in software design and development. I would like to thank all Java Ranchers for their questions and answers.
Good luck to you all.
