This is one of the best books i've seen for the java examination. Other books try to unnecesarily complicate the stuff.This is just enough. Study it and your sure to pass the exam.

I disagree with lots of other reviews. This book is worth than the value. One book cannot cover all the Java specifications. I bought this book in 1999 and found it useful in exams. Though this book may not be that good for new Architect Certification, but the contents are worth reading and refreshing the knowledge in various areas. I would ignore typograhical errors if the contents are worth reading and useful.

I disagree with the other critical reviews. I'm a Java instructor and I feel this book is well organized, gives short explanations that aren't laborious, and serves as a good Java reference. There are review and exam questions to test your readiness. Sure, you may find you're weak in a particular area that this book can't explain but that's why there are hundreds of other Java texts.

It has errors, all right. And to make matters worse, the website that it claims has the errata for such errors doesn't. A big disappointment. You can't trust a book with errors like this.

This has to be one of the worst book purchases I have ever made. It is full of ambiguous statements and errors. His sample questions are foolishly tricky, not hard. You will be left with the impression that you will need to remember all the details of the operator precedence hierarchy and binary code operations (you don't). The level of typographical errors is higher than I have seen before. His CD is of marginal value. The cost of the book will not be your major loss: You will lose a lot of time cross referencing back to a standard text to discover what he is trying to convey. When you look at the duplicated picture of the sailing boat that appears throughout the book, remember that it represents your good money. I was forced to purchase a second 'exam cram' to make up for the serious deficiencies of Jaworski. This time I was much more careful. I selected Bill Brogden's Exam Cram Java 2. This is a precisely written and insightful book that carefully targets the needs of Java programmers who have the basics, but now need to make sure they've 'got' all the key features of the language. The sample questions are very well written. His other Java book appears to have been targeted at programmers at an earlier stage and with more time on their hands to study. It too is excellent, and I did not spot any duplication of material between the books.
