Average Rating:
 Rating: - Out of dateWorth noting that this version does not cover some of the newer topics such as Web Services, EJB 3, JDO, JPA or JSF. The publishers site has a new version released July 2007 but it seems Amazon don't have it listed yet. Rating:  - Not Good Enough - Unclear with Too Much FlannelHaving got nearly halfway through my preparation for the first exam I have become very frustrated with this book. There is unnecessary 'flannel' getting in the way of the information I need to learn and unnecessary repetition of material. Frankly I think the book could be half the size it is and get the information over far more concisely. Unfortunately it needs more work than that though to turn it into a winner. The structure of some of the chapters is weak in places and not very clear, leaving me confused over what I'm reading and how it relates to what I've read previously. I'm sure you can pass the exam using it, but it's a real struggle to prepare effectively with this book. Rating: - Rip offYou've got more resources online at Sun's website. This book is just a complete waste of time. Too 'overview' and no depth. You're best downloading the free pdf books from 'the server side' website. Rating: - Badly written and unclearI would not advise buying this book for studying for the SCEA exam. It is very badly written and not clear at all. Much of the material is repeated and long-winded. It contains some of the most useless diagrams I've seen in a long time. I would recommend the Mark Cade book and some of the notes and files that are available from other people who sat the exam. (mainly from the Yahoo groups and JavaRanch). The good points of the book are that there are plenty of practice questions and a sample exam. Rating: - Don't botherThis book is, at best, not very useful. Lots of typos, code pasted randomly around, simple and pointless examples... Some imprecisions, reference to non-existing specifications etc. After a chapter there are some review questions, often the questions test you on things never mentioned in the chapter and sometimes in the entire book! Surely not a complete guide. The information in the book is hardly gonna make you pass the exam. The book is gonna tell you what you must know, then you'll have to do your own digging. But for that I could just use Sun's web pages.
