The SCJP Handbook

With at least a dozen books on SCJP in the market, a question naturally arises is to why add one more? The Java certification assesses the conceptual knowledge and is not similar to academic or theoretical examinations. Hence purely academic approach may not work well for the exam. Therefore while following the SCJP syllabus, sufficient efforts must be put in to get true understanding of essential java concepts. There are many excellent books on SCJP and they are good enough for readers who know Java quite well. However they may be bit confusing for Java beginners. Since SCJP exam is particularly popular among Java beginners, this is an important issue. The SCJP Handbook tries to be different- While focusing on SCJP objectives—the assessment of important core Java concepts—it goes one step further—to discuss the concepts themselves.
When I started preparing for SCJP I knew only as much Java as needed for my work. Preparation for SCJP gave me an opportunity to experiment with several other interesting aspects of Java (threads for instance) and to learn “Java-as-a-language” from scratch. But while doing so I had gone through several books to truly get the picture of many Java concepts. It made me think to write a book on SCJP. I wrote this book because this was the book that I wanted to read when I started my SCJP preparation. I hope to make this book a one-stop-solution for SCJP.
