Hi Friends,
I have given SCJP 1.4 and SCWCD.I am interested in thoroughly understanding the newly introduced features of Java 5.0.But this wont be from a certification point of view,though upgrade exam might be a future possibility.In this scenario,would Study Guide by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates for SCJP1.5 be advisable for me or is it strictly from certification point of view?
Thanks,
Anjali

In your case, this book may not be the best choice, because it does not concentrate on (and often does not even mention) the differences between 1.4 and 5. You would be forced to go through a lot of stuff you already know from 1.4, instead of concentrating on what you need to learn.

In general terms, the Sierra and Bates book is also a Java 5 guide, not only a SCJP guide.
