If anyone is interested in joining a Study Group focused on
gaining Sun Certified Java Programmer status, please let me
know.
Thank you, This email is not meant to start another dialog regarding
the merits of gaining certifications.
From: Steve Agather [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2004 3:32 PM Subject: May 21 meeting for SCJP study group All, We are starting a group
focused on getting Sun Certified Java Programmer status. This is a difficult exam, so you’re going
to have to study to pass, even if you are an
expert in Java. The exam
is a stickler for detail that some programmers (read Steve Agather) wouldn’t
concern themselves with. Many of
the questions revolve around issues that some programmers (insert name as above)
rely on the javac compiler to warn them about. Our development tools have become so
good that many of the intricacies of Java are handled for us, and we’ve lost
understanding some of the finer details of the language. Knowing this, however, we can gear our
study towards learning the subtler aspects of Java. Regardless of whether or not you want
certification, we will be learning Java in depth, so please feel free to join
the group. Actual desire to take
the exam is not required. For the May
21st meeting, please get a copy of Mughal’s
book. Read the first two chapters
and do all review questions in each chapter. Do the programming exercise at the end
of chapter 2 (it’s a quick one – does not even require actual coding). You can look at the answers in the
appendix. Do not look
at the sample exam at the back of the book. Leave this until we’ve covered the
entire book. For the review
questions, annotate any you have difficulty with. We need to cover these in our
meetings. The key is to understand
what we’re missing during the practice tests. Bring your books,
notes, questions and comments to the meeting. Hope to see you
there. Steve -----Original
