I would like yo know if the content on these books is only what can be read in the API or would I been able to find significant more content.
I will be taking the
SCJP in a near future. Nowadays I am getting background about
Java programming.
I have already Thinking in Java and Inside the Java 2 Virtual Machine. But I haven�t been able to find (nowhere) an accurate description of, for instance, the field GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE or REMAINDER, thus I had to spend a while checking with my own programs.
I would like to be a Java Programmer in the future, so I think that if I bought these books now I will be using them for the exam and the future. On the other hand, if these books were not adding significant content to the API it would be a great waste of time and money that it wouldn�t encourage me to continue in the hard work.
Please would you so nice to reply clearing my doubt?
I am posting this here because I hope to find someone who owns the books. It is important to me to decide to buy the books or not, as soon as possible.
