I passed the SCJP exam last week and I'm now interested in completing the OCMJD certification. I'm aware that I need to get moving quickly if I want to get it done before August 1st so I'm hoping to get things rolling this week.
My preparation for last week's exam was helped a lot by the Bates and Sierra practice exam book, as well as a self-study CD-ROM produced by Oracle. With that in mind I've been having a look for a suitable book which can assist with the completion of the OCMJD assignment. On this forum I've seen a lot of chat about a book by Monkhouse and Camerlengo ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1590595165 ), but I'm a bit concerned that it has been written for Java SE5, and there doesn't appear to be a new version for Java SE6 yet.
Does this matter? Are there any SE6-specific features that are useful during the assignment that aren't mentioned in the book? Would everyone on here who's read it recommend it?
I have tried using the search function to see if there is any specific discussion on this issue, but I haven't seen any, which would lead me to believe I am worrying over nothing.
Also if anyone has any other book recommendations I would be glad to hear them!
Many thanks

I haven't read it myself yet, so right now I can't recommend it  . But I found this thread for you, which implies that it is still a very, very good resource.

Great find Marcel, don't know why I didn't see that one...
Must still be recovering from the Easter break...

Yup have already downloaded that white paper and started to read it. I've also ordered the Monkhouse book, and until I receive it I will probably do some Swing tutorials as it's been a while since I've developed an app that uses it.
Also, cheers for the wall of fame link. Hopefully I'll get my own name up there over the summer!
