You should find this book useful whether you are pursuing Java certification or
want to round out your knowledge and gain further confidence in using Java. This
book takes a different approach to prepare you for certification. It is designed to
provide you with coverage of the topics found in the exam and to provide additional
insights in to the use of Java and the development of Java applications. By providing
a broader coverage, it goes beyond the immediate certification focus and provides a
more comprehensive coverage of the language.
For those pursuing Java certification, the book is organized around the major aspects
of Java and addresses the certification topics covered by the Java SE 7 Programmer
I (1Z0-803) exam. Each chapter addresses specific certification topics, though
some topics are covered in more than one chapter. At the end of each chapter are
certification questions that will give you an idea of the nature of the questions you
may encounter on the exam. The intent of the book is not to provide an exhaustive
set of questions, but rather address those important Java concepts that will prepare
you to answer certification questions.
For those of you seeking to advance your knowledge of Java, the book provides
insight into Java that you may not have seen before. In particular, the diagrams will
hopefully enhance and solidify your understanding of how Java works, especially
those figures that describe the use of the program stack and heap. Examples are
provided throughout the book that addresses many of the common pitfalls found in
developing Java applications.
Regardless of your reasons for reading this book, I hope that you find the book to be
rewarding and fulfilling. |
