Hello!!
I want to take the SCJP exam but don�t know which book to use to prepare for it. I started working with Java a couple of months back and now �know the basics�. Although I have written tiny programs, I have never done any extensive programming in Java.
Thus:
Which book should I use to prepare for the SCJP exam?
-Please suggest a book, which is designed for a beginner and will also help me in preparing for the exam "hopefully passing it" .
AND
How much time do I need to prepare for the exam?

All advise is appreciated!!

Get Kathy Sierra's and Bert Bates's SCJP&D book.
The amount of time it takes depends on how much time you can spend each day/week on studying.
If you make it your full time job you could do it in under a month.

Sam,
The K&B (Kathy & Bert) book is an excellent study guide. Both Authors frequent this board too.

Think of how stupid the average person is. And how half of them are stupider than that. But who reads this tiny ad?
