OCJP 7 book review



Author's Names: S G Ganesh & Tushar Sharma

Type of Book/Genre: OCPJP 7 Certification

Description/Brief Summary: This book is for OCPJP 7 certification.

Review:
If you are studying for OCPJP 7 examination, then I find this book is very useful. You could be a professional who wants to brush-up on Java APIs, you could be a trainer for Core Java, or you could be someone who just want to pass the exam. This book is very well-organized and it covers all the topics for OCPJP 7 in required depth.

The first chapter contains OCPJP 7 examination FAQs that provides OCPJP 7 certification overview, kinds of questions that come in this certification examination, details about how to prepare for it and the most interesting things as well as very useful information for readers who is going to give this kind of certification examination for the first time, that is how to register, what to do on the examination day, etc.

The second chapter contains a pre-test; this chapter will be useful to check your current-level of knowledge and find your weakness before you start. A new learner can skip this chapter as this chapter required beginners/intermediate knowledge in Java.

Rest of the twelve chapters covers all the topics required for OCPJP 7 with examples to explain the APIs and tricks, this chapters end with a test named "Question Time!" to check reader's learning and most important thing there is a summary section at the end of each chapter which is a great help for quick recap. Apart from this there is a "Points to Remember" section to which highlight the tricky parts covered in that section.

At the end there are two OCPJP 7 mock exams which will help reader for final preparation and check actual preparedness for the examination.

I really enjoyed reading it. I recommend this book for OCPJP 7 certification and as a Core Java book.
