I prepare with OCA/OCP
Java SE7 Study Guide for the 1Z0-804 exam. Within the book is a chapter about serialization mentioned, which can be found on the CD.
Unfortunately I prepare on a BSD engine (and try to avoid setting up a virtual windows) and cant therefore install something with a windows installer or something like that. Is there for example a pdf version of the chapter available?
Besides that I want to thank K.Sierra and B.Bates for their outstanding book. I have to admit (and am happy), that I learned a lot from their book (until now, I'm actually in Chapter 12 ) .
edit: found it, it's in the ../BonusContent/OCP_JP_5_and_6 - folder of the CD. Sorry for that unnecessary post, a simple find did the job.
