Hi! I've fooled around with Java in the past but I want to get
certified in it so I'm trying to get the basics down before I focus on
cert prep. I'm planning on starting from scratch and working my way
up. With this in mind, I have a few questions:
1. What's considered "The" book for beginners? IS there such a thing?
For example, in various areas there are certain books that are
considered "must have", such as in C it's K&R, in C++ it's the
Stroussup (sp?) book, for CCNA prep it's the Sybex book, etc., etc.,
and I'm wondering if there's a really good starting book.
2. After the beginner book, what's next? Certification prep books or
more language books? If so, which books? I'm trying to get an idea of
how I need to prepare and what to focus on before I take the test. I'm
also trying to get an idea of when in my learning of Java can I begin
preparing for the test.
Thanks in advanced!
