I have completed the web base traning from Sun on SCJA and now busy with the Head first Java2 dn Edition Book to write my SCJA exams. Is this a good start or should I get a other book also.
Many Thanks

For the SCJA exams I would recommend looking in the SCJA forum for Cameron Wallace's books. They are perfect for the exams, and I know from personal experience you can use just his two books to pass the SCJA.

It really looks like the fundamentals of coding are really where you might want to spend some more of your time. Head First Java is a great book for learning the fundamentals of Java. The SCJA Guide is really that, a guide to understanding the key aspects of the SCJA exam, but it's not really intended as a how-to guide for learning Java from the ground up.
I think it's just a matter of practice. I'd even suggest picking up a used first-year Java book from a local university and just go over the exercises they have in the backs of the chapters. I think all you need is some more time programming, and just hacking out code and doing code problems, and the rest of the stuff will quickly fall into place.
