Summary: the only thing one needs to pass the 310-035 exam
Review: hello, if you are familiar with the basic principles of programming (eg for loop) this is the only book you will need to pass the 310-035 exam. with a little over two months of slack studying i passed the exam, first try. the accompanying cd has a good test to study from too. just read the chapters (only 9 of them) and do the end-chapter tests.

Summary: Not complete
Review: This book is not a comprehensive study guide. You will need significant other resources to help you prepare for the exam properly. There is virtually no coverage of assignment conversion, method invocation conversion or numerical promotion. If your planning to take the test this book is not enough, look for more study resources and practice exams on the Internet.

Summary: This book is a "must have"
Review: Since I had heard that the 310-035 certification test was quite difficult, I spent a few months preparing for it. I devoted much of that time to really digesting this book, diligently reading each chapter and taking (and re-taking) the practice exams. I just took my certification test last week and passed with a score of 95%. Had I not gone through this book, there would have been little chance of doing so well on the test. Thank you Kathy and Bert for a wonderful book!

Summary: Very good complete study guide
Review: This is a very good study guide with complete coverage on all SCJP 1.4 exam objectives. I have to admit that it not only served its purpose well in helping me passing the exam, but also filled me in on lots of Java language details that could easily fall through the cracks in day-to-day programming, and thus helped me gain a more thorough understanding of the language. The authors' ability of explaining complex topics (such as threading) in a clear straightforward way is the biggest strength of this book. The "Two Minute Drill" summarizes topics well and provides a concise reference. The examples could have presented more variations and tricky codes, because understanding the concepts is one thing, recognizing various code, specially those in format not so often seen, is a totally different thing. Overall, I highly recommend this book. Read it page by page, and do a lot of mock exams (a MUST!), then you should pass the exam with a good score.
