My organization is fairly conservative (we are still using Java 1.4!) I was quite keen on using Groovy as it compatible with Java without the need for 'translators'.

I was met with the response 'Groovy is yet another fad' when trying to implement Groovy in small internal applications.

Do you think it is yet another fad Venkat? How do you think if I gave them your book (or a book that may suggest) to read it will give them more information about Groovy as to not dismiss it so easily?

The developers are on my side of the fence after reading Groovy recipes.

Thanks.

Do you offer any advice for the whole interview experience? I mean what to wear, etiquettes etc.?

What sort of learning curve would I expect (with 3 years java experience) for me to be functional in groovy?

Thanks.

I am very pleased with my result and would like to thank K&B for an excellent book.

I am especially pleased as I did the exam prep and the exam whilst on maternity leave and the fellow ranchers were my only contact to real 'java' world!

Thanks to all of you.

Ps. My prep was classic SCJP prep. K&B with Whizlabs. Only thing is that you read K&B once then do a few mock exams and re-read K&B and then do a few more. I found that it really drilled the message home.

I have been studying for SCJP 1.5 for the past few months and have booked in my exam for Wednesday.

I have been going through the practice exams on Whizlabs getting 54%, 62%, 72%, 67% and two more exams I am planning to take. I know people are saying whizlabs is harder than the real exam but I am starting to get cold feet.

I have got 81% on Marcus Green's tiger exam.

Do you think I should go for it or reschedule my exam?
Phew! One thing less to worry about! Thanks Bert
Hi!

Just wondering if I had to study the Math class for the 1.5 exam?

Getting worried as one of the people that passed mentioned there was 3 questions in the exam that had Math on it.
Also I found this list (http://www.jroller.com/mert/entry/scjp_5_0_nuts_and) of tips for tricky questions really helpful but it also had math related advice.

I hate the dreaded Math class and my weak point is API contents!

Thanks!

Pravvy.
