Hello,
I already am
SCJP, SCBCD, SCWCD. I've been working in
J2EE for quite a few years now, reading some materials, doing a few J2EE designs here & there
, and I feel like it's time to move forward and try the SCEA/OCMJEA. Of course, some formal preparation will be needed first.
I know there is an entire list of books in the "FAQ" section, but i'm pretty sure nobody can go through ALL those books. At least not somebody with a job
So what i'm interested is: what should I read, what is really necessary from that list? I'm expecting there is no silver bullet, but your experience would be a lot helpful to me. From what I noticed around here, I saw that Cade/Sheil is highly recommended, and also Fowler's "UML Distilled". I have already read Sierra/Bates's EJB 3 book (for my SCBCD exam). Any other recommendations?
Thanks to all in anticipation!
