Description

Java 5.0 contains over 100 improvements that simplify development, improve performance and manageability...and require a whole new set of certification exams. If you're studying for the new SCJP or SCJD, Phil Heller and Simon Roberts have revamped their bestselling study guide to systematically prep you for Sun's new objectives.Part I systematically reviews every objective on the Programmer's Exam: operators, assignments, modifiers, converting, casting, flow control, assertions, exceptions, objects, classes, threads, java.lang, java.util, I/O, streams, and more. Next, the authors turn to Sun's tough programming assignments. The Developer Exam requires you to write a substantial application with a Swing-built GUI client front-end, server back-end, and network communications. The authors walk through all of this, revealing exactly what Sun expects - and the no-no's that'll fail you in an instant. Because you don't want to go through this stress twice.
