Hi,

I am currently studying for the exam of 1Z0 803 using Mala Gupta book.

But i find out when i was practicing questions through enthuware that it does not cover all legal and illegal java syntax one need to know to ace the exam.

I need a java book( if it exists) that covers all legal and illegal java syntax.Any recomendations?

Thanks in advance

I have read some of Mala Gupta and some of Study Guide by Finegan & Liguori and I find that neither book covers the Java language to the extend and detail needed for the exam (I have not taken it yet, but am ready soon). I strongly recommend that you purchase the SCJP 6 book by Bates & Sierra. It covers everything much better. It does however lack a few Java 7 topics. If you have time, wait for the upcoming OCA 7 book.

Amazon still says it comes out October 24th. I got a copy from the publisher yesterday. (I contributed to it so I get a free copy). The pint being the book exists so I expect it to start being sold sooner than October 24th.

Hi Raghav,
Could you please tell me which legal/illegal syntax did you find that is required for the exam but is not covered in our question bank? This will help us improve the product.
thank you,
Paul.

Sorry....actually it the other way around. Your questions bank is perfect.I was telling that Mala Gupta have not covered all legal and illegal code in her book and that i discovered this by going through enthuware.
I was the one that created this misunderstanding so i need to find a way to edit the post to make it more clear.Maybe i need to ask the admin permission.

But if i find something missing while practising using enthuware in the future i will let you know.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood. Now that I read your post again, it makes perfect sense
