Is the book enough?

Hi Michael,
Best of luck with the book.
Do you think the book is all one needs to study to be successful at the OCAJP exam?
Or do you see it as a stepping stone to add to other resources?
Regards,
Brian

Hi Brian -
I don't think the book is an awesome exam prep guide. I didn't really try to write one. I was more interested in writing a book for someone who wants to find work as a Java programmer, and who plans to use the OCA exam as a stepping stone. I am far more interested in what it takes to prepare a person for a job programming in Java. To me, certification is just a means to that end. If by the end of the book you have the tools you need to start reading and understanding Java APIs, I'll feel like I did the job I intended.

Ok, so does your book explain all ways which a task could be done and then explain the best way and why it is the best way?

It's not a book on best practices, if that's what you're asking.
