I have passed OCPJP recently and want to do OCMJD now.
After reading a lot in these forums and from Oracle website I've come to following conclusions:
-- Read Head First
Java to learn things like
Applets, Swings etc not covered in OCPJP
-- Buy the book
SCJD Exam with J2SE5 Andrew Monkhouse and Camerlengo and read it
-- Take training in Java SE 7 new Features(because it is the cheapest) through TOD-Training on Demand
and the rest follows, assignment and essay.
So, any suggestions?
Note: I've never developed an application of any kind just written some silly programs.
