Additional information
by Paul Sanghera (Author)
Best selling author, Paul Sanghera, offers a cohesive, concise, yet comprehensive book on all the topics covered by the SCJP exam. With a laser sharp focus on the exam objectives, it goes beyond just being an 'exam cram'. The material is presented in a logical learning sequence: a section builds upon previous sections and a chapter on previous chapters. All concepts, simple and complex, are defined and explained when they appear the first time. There is no hopping from topic to topic and no jargon without explanation. No prior knowledge of Java programming is assumed.
