I just sat for Sun Certified Java Programmer exam yesterday and it was an interesting experience. Yeah! I passed! It was not only the exam session that I sat for, but also the whole preparation process that gave me a new insights. Thus, I would like share some of them with you here.
Firstly, I would encourage any Java programmer/developer who hasn't sit for this exam to start looking into it and register for it. It's not the cert (the paper you get upon passing the exam) that gives you the most value, but the knowledge that you acquired when preparing for the exam that bring you to another level. I have always asking myself how I can write a robust code- I can say that this certification is the first step.
The following are some of the references that I would like to share for you to understand what SCJP is, how to kick-start your preparation for the exam and how to enhance and testify your knowledge with the mock exams. Please take note that the following are some of my recommendations (just my 2 cents) and it does not guarantee as the best.
