I got to read
SCJD Exam book after passing the SJCD with a 151/155. So I know what is on the assignment and essay exam.
Of all the SCJD books that I have read, this book comes closest to presenting an application that resembles the actual assignment and without giving away the goodies.
You will find that you will not only learn everything you need to pass the SJCD, but you will also learn all the new features of
Java SDK version 1.4. You'll learn about the New IO, Regex, Assertions, and Logging.
It will go over all the considerations that you must make for the SCJD assignment including Design decisions, Coding Standards and RMI vs Sockets. All very important parts of the SCJD.
If I could only say one thing negative, It would be that I feel a couple, very small couple of issues where handled with more complexity than was needed. But, that is just my opinion.
Overall I would say that this is the best book to buy if you want a book for the SCJD Assignment.
