of the (310-035) Programmer exam, this edition offers complete coverage
of the Sun Certified Programmer for Java 2 exam objectives and newly added,

real exam. An integrated study system based on proven pedagogy, exam coverage
includes step-by-step exercises, special Exam Watch notes, On-the-Job elements,
and Self Tests with in-depth answer explanations to help reinforce and
teach practical skills.
Praise for the author:
“Finally! A Java certification book
that explains everything clearly. All you need to pass the exam is in this
book.”
—Solveig Haugland, Technical Trainer
and Former Sun Course Developer
"Who better to write a Java study guide
than Kathy Sierra, the reigning queen of Java instruction? Kathy Sierra
has done it again—here is a study guide that almost guarantees you a certification!"
—James Cubeta, Systems Engineer, SGI
"The thing I appreciate most about
Kathy is her quest to make us all remember that we are teaching people
and not just lecturing about Java. Her passion and desire for the highest
quality education that meets the needs of the individual student is positively
unparalleled at SunEd. Undoubtedly there are hundreds of students who have
benefited from taking Kathy's classes."
—Victor Peters, founder Next Step Education
& Software Sun Certified Java Instructor
“I want to thank Kathy for the EXCELLENT
Study Guide. The book is well written, every concept is clearly explained
using a real life example, and the book states what you specifically need
to know for the exam. The way it's written, you feel that you're in a classroom
and someone is actually teaching you the difficult concepts, but not in
a dry, formal manner. The questions at the end of the chapters are also
REALLY good, and I am sure they will help candidates pass the test. Watch
out for this Wickedly Smart book.”
-Alfred Raouf, Web Solution Developer,
Kemety.Net
"The Sun Certification exam was certainly
no walk in the park but Kathy's material allowed me to not only pass the
exam, but Ace it!"
—Mary Whetsel, Sr. Technology Specialist,
Application Strategy and Integration, The St. Paul Companies
