Hi Cameron,
and thank you for this update.
I reviewed the book list and from what I remember from exam objectives, topics related to web services (service-oriented-A vs EA), comparison of
EJB 3 with previous versions, and especially, issues around use of web centric and EJB centric architectures are missing in your recommendation list(Or maybe in general presentation layer topics,
jsp,
jsf,
servlets...). Also the importance of security has been increased in SCEA 5
If you accept requests, I would like to make one: could you be clear explaining 2-multi-tier, 2-multi-layer, architectures. Maybe contrasting other viewpoints on this, may help, as Microsoft and Oracle guys (MVC,ADF, etc.) use the same terminology for different concepts.
I hope your book will have size of Paul Allen's book but quality of Mark Cade's book
Regards
Farbod
