Thanks a lot, Bert! Why don't you write much more books I wonder?!
If you don't mind, my favourite book of yours is that one for SCJP. REALLY inspiring! Those "Head First", I don't like them that much. I'd say they a trying to make things easier than they are, which is slightly misleading
I want to know the actual name of book by Kathy Sierra's and Bert bates book also. Is it available on web or i have to buy it.
Well, I bought mine at Amazon.co.uk. I always prefer to have a paper copy, after the whole day at the computer, even if I adore it...
As for the name of the book, here it is (however, check for the newer edition):
Sun Certified Programmer & Developer for Java 2 Study Guide (Exams 310-035 & 310-027), by Cathy Sierra and Bert Bates Never read anything better and... invigorative!
