The Complete Java 2 Certification study guide

Sun Microsystems--the creator of Java--has two Java
Certification Exams--one for programmers and one
for developers. This Study Guide is the ultimate
authority for both of the Sun Certification Tests! The
lead author of Sybex's Java 1.2 Certification Study
Guide actually developed the exams for Sun.
Roberts was the key player in the concept, strategy,
and implementation of the test guidelines, and also
developed the questions. The Study Guide is
organized according to the exam objectives defined
by Sun. Every single objective is covered, reinforced
with sample questions and annotated answers. The
book has a stamp of approval from the Sun
Education Team, and includes a CD with an
exclusive Java exam test engine.
