Hi Everyone,

Was 2004 the last year the SCJP Study Aids Contest (thread)was run? (I searched but couldn't find anything for 2005)

Also, were the winning entries (mnemonics, poems, etc. and their corresponding explanations) published anywhere in their entirety on JavaRanch (all in one place)?

Thank you very much in advance...Catherine

You know, it might be time for another Study Aide contest...

Any thoughts from the ranchers?

Hi Bert,

If there's enough interest, I think it would be great if you did have another Study Aid Contest.

I wish i knew of an easy way (other than by rote) to memorize all of the methods in the different APIs. The only thing I've come up with is for the static Thread methods in SE 1.4:

SYNCH AID (as in an synchronization aid)

(sleep, yield, enumerate, currentThread, holdsLock, activeCount, interrupted, dumpStack)

If anyone has any good ones for any of the APIs I would very much love to hear them.

Thank you...Catherine
