I Passed the SCJP Exam Using this Book
+ Great Book
This is a good book if you want to review and brush up on your knowledge for the SCJP 5.0 exam. With that being said, this is not the only material that you should use for the exam. The included CD has practice tests, but they are pretty weak. Many of the answers are incorrect and they are not ...

Core Java(TM) 2, Volume I--Fundamentals (7th Edition) (Core Series) (Core Series) 54 reviews
Cay S. Horstmann, Gary Cornell
Prentice Hall PTR, 2004
Excellent read!
+ Easy to follow
+ Good started book into the world of Java
I read this book years ago (I guess that was the first edition). I am ordering a replacement copy today, even though I am no longer an active programmer, because it is so good. It is one of those rare textbooks that you can actually read from cover to cover, like a novel.

Professional Java Development with the Spring Framework 26 reviews
Rod Johnson, Juergen Hoeller, ...
Wrox, 2005
Can't really say
I lent it to a guy on my development team, and now I can't seem to get it back. He must like it. (!)
One thing I really appreciated was the comparative tables showing benefits and tradeoffs of using the different web frameworks with Spring. The book does seem a bit shallow for the number of ...

Expert One-on-One J2EE Development without EJB29 reviews
Rod Johnson, Juergen Hoeller
Wrox, 2004
Component and J(2)EE development classic
+ Good book
By now a classic, this book eloquently expressed how the Corba component design committees came up with an EJB specification that was not an ideal cornerstone for all J(2)EE applications. Although very fit for selected purposes the early EJB specs had to evolve to EJB 3 to really leverage the power ...

Java In A Nutshell, 5th Edition31 reviews
David Flanagan
O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005
Excellent reference, but could lose the last 2/3 of the book
+ Good reference book , but a little heavy
+ Java in a bombshell
I very much like this as a reference, but at this point I feel like most of the back 2/3 of the book is unnecessary bulk. The front portion, however, is excellent.
