I have downloadd the 600+ pages pdf on java language specification.
But I am confused gow to use it. The file is very verbose. It sounds as if it�s a datasheet of an electronics componrnt

Can anyone plz help me in this regard ???
Also the sun tutorials (the tutorial itself and the examples) turn into lots of folders when unzipped. Please tell me which folders to read for scjp1.5

Check the index.html and from there you can navigate (java tutorial) and to know what you must read, please check the 1.5 certification details and see what you need to learn

and for the JLS i suggest you download and use the html book. its much more easier to handle

The JLS is probably not something you will want to read "cover to cover" (at this point). But it is a very valuable reference for clarifying details. The more you use it, the more you will get accustomed to its syntax. My suggestion is to use this as a reference for situations that you can't figure out otherwise.

See Sun's requirements for the 1.5 exam...

Hi,
You can get a hardcopy of the pdf file (JLS) (in the form of book )named 'The Java Language Specification' from amazon.com

The tutorials will help in understanding only the fundamentals. It will sharp one to be prepared for the exam.

Reading JLS is like doing research with Java. So, working out the example codes given in the JLS will help in getting through the exam.
