Thanks for the replys guys.. I have started K & B book, I will adopt the simple strategy of reading a topic and exhaustive coding on that topic.. the self test exercise given in tht book won't be sufficient, how to get questions which might now come in my mind normally? I don't know how to get weirdest questions that might clear out some complex logics in java..
meanwhile, the other book which I was referring was "A+Programmer's+Guide+to+Java+SCJP+Certification+A+Comprehensive+Primer+3rd+Edition", this is very hard one... concepts are good, but I felt like I was reading some scientific article, sometimes it goes over the head..
okay, lets see how things go, I have read the first chapter, now looking for ways to experiment with that knowledge..
Thanks.
