Hi,Iam planning to go for scjp exam.as u all know sun offers two exams,one java1.2 and the other is java1.4 Iam not in a position to make a decision whether to go for java1.2 or java1.4 Is there any major difference in them apart from course contents? Thanks.Your suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Hi Praveena, there are many noble here , who will answer you in a jiffy...but i didnt see any answer...so replying.. I suggest you do a search for these exams on java.ranch..and you will find surely more than one discussions on which exam to choose!.. cheers
Praveena - I am sure to get some flak but I'd definitely say take the 1.4 ! Our understanding is that the 1.2 is about to be retired by Sun, and it is relatively old ("these are internet times - baby"). I also think that while the questions are a bit harder than the ones on 1.2, the objectives are more focused. Personally, I'd prefer to study for the 1.4 than the 1.2 - not having to study AWT and I/O is a big relief!
Spot false dilemmas now, ask me how!
(If you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much room.)
Praveena, I would suggest you to take 1.4 exam than 1.2.I would recommend you to refer Kathy and Bert's book for SCJP certification which i find the best book for certification. Thanks, Ramnath
