Thank you for all of your post. I'm getting the handle of it now.

okay... they way I understand now is that Java platform supports multithreading at language level with addition sophisticated synchronization of basic elements of program.

Java is providing multithreading at langauge level and in the same time also running/computing blocks of a complex program.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

Thank you...

The Java platform supports multithreading at the language level with the addition of sophisticated synchronization primitives: the language library provides the Thread class, and the run-time system provides monitor and condition lock primitives. At the library level, moreover, Java technology's high-level system libraries have been written to be thread safe: the functionality provided by the libraries is available without conflict to multiple concurrent threads of execution.

A white paper written by James Gosling and Henry McGilton.



I'm unable to understand the primitives thing. If some one can explain this.

Thank you

Thank you.
I'm confused here:
Which Sun Java tutorial should I use:
1- The Java Tutorial updated for 5.0
2- The Java Tutorial for 6.0

And which JDK should is use for preaparing for exam.

I think that the J2EE Tutorial is way too bulky. I like Cameron McKenzie's Sun Certified Java Associate book. It is a better overview of all of Java technologies like Sun intended the SCJA to be. In this case less is much more.

If you get Cameron's book, make sure that you get the new edition. It has many improvements.

umm... So if i study the Basic (Getting Started, Learning the Java Language
Essential, Java Classes, Collections, Deployment) from Sun tutorial and then study the K&B book is that a solid foundation for beginner.

And my target is to give exam 310-055 which is Java 5 platform...
It's may sound like a stupid question but it's better to ask.

In SCJA FAQ some JavaRanch members have recommended the study of J2EE tutorial, my question is, I have to go through all of the tutorial or only related the parts related to exam objectives...

Well, I have no idea about programming and really want to be SCJP. I have following study materials are the enough for a beginner:
1- SCJP java 2 platform by Robert Barr (video trainning CBT)
2- SCJP Sun Certified Programmer for Java 5 Study Guide by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates.
3- The Java Tutorial 5.0 from Sun.
