    Excellent book. Actually, like many, I bought the book, because I wanted to do the test. However, this book explains Java so easy, deep and clear that for me become instantly one of my favorites books. Some body told me that the book was not just for giving the exam but much, much, more than that. You know what, he was right! Many things I already new about Java but weren't clear, became crystal clear. I 100% recommend that book to learn Java not just for the exam.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good book...a few errors but got me thru the exam
    Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2013

    I took the Java SE 7 Programmer I 1ZO-803 exam on 01/03/2013 and passed. The book is a good guide as to what to expect but the exam will still throw you some loops. I would not advise taking the exam if you don't have Java experience beyond what you learn in this book. The book covers a lot of ground and I think does a good job of explaining what you need to know for the parts of the exam that the book covers. You will definitely need to do all of the self tests (I did them multiple times) and spend a lot of time with the Java API...also the exercises in each chapter help to reinforce what you have just learned. The CD contains a sample exam which will help you learn to pace yourself when taking the real exam...you can easily spend too much time on questions and then realize that half of your allotted time is used up and you still have 50 questions to go! The main thing is to read/practice/read again/practice again. I would encourage users of the book to avoid using an IDE and type everything into a textpad document (or whichever editor you like for your O.S.) and compile/run all programs from the command line. IDE's do too much for you which if you're studying for a cert exam...can be a bad thing...IDE's are good at work...just not for study.

    Gives a good overview and good depth on curtain (relevant) subjects.

    The exercises are relative to the exam and well made.

    It should only be used as a practice guide, could be used as a intro to Java, but not a introduction to programming

    3.0 out of 5 stars A solid resource minus a few caveats
    Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Truthfully, I was initially impressed with the book and its overall presentation style. All of which flew out of the window as I continued to encounter errors that any competent reviewer with knowledge of the content should have caught, specifically chapters 1, 2, and 3 [where I stopped].

    The level of frustration with this text increased as I began to develop flash cards, obviously, the devil is in the details, and the reader is paying a lot more attention at this point. Therefore, before I got too far, I took a quick break and downloaded the errata for the book - confidence instantly shaken. It was not only the amount of errors listed that pissed me off, but also how many per chapter, and the type of errors found.

    Sure, everyone expects an errata list with any technical book, that's the norm unfortunately. However, one could only hope that any reviewer(s) is vigilant enough to ensure the majority of errors were kept to a minimum, while taking into account the nature of the text.

    That said some of you reading this might be Professionals like myself with limited time. Therefore, having to peruse an errata list with amount of errors and the type of errors contained is counter-productive to the task-at-hand and unacceptable.

    Furthermore, and this really raised a brow considering I bought the eBook for Kindle. The errata for this text was last updated on 12/18/2012 [Errata Sheet (Revision 1.2.0 - 12/18/12)]. Why after a month are new customers, those purchasing the digital version being subjected to the current offering that is obviously sub-par?

    Bottom-line: For what could have been a stellar book, I would advise to look elsewhere if you planned on buying the digital version. Until the publisher deems it appropriate to supply its customer with a version worthy of the content and title, and or refresh the eBook - save your hard-earned cash for another book.

    *If I am able to get an updated version of the eBook at no charge then I will be happy edit my rating of the book.

    ################
    UPDATE: 1/23/13
    ################

    As far as my "Bottom-Line" comment above, overall the book is actually a good text despite the errata for the first printing. However, if you have a Kindle and 45 minutes, you can highlight and annotate the sections requiring correction.

    If you are looking to purchase the book and cannot wait for the second printing, I would still recommend the text, despite the frustration of having a secondary piece of reading material [errata list].

    I am not new to Java but have learned quite a bit thus far, great tips, and good links to solid resources to use in the field.

    Necesitaba un libro de estudio para la certificación de java 7 y me venía bien este formato sabiendo las limitaciones que tienes en un ebook, paginación, búsqueda de páginas concretas, y en 6" no se pueden pedir milagros.
    Las tablas se ven muy pequeñas y de momento no he podido descargarme el código que viene en el libro así como la versión en pdf ni el exámen de prueba que se supone te crean en un zip y te lo puedes descargar. He mandado un correo a la editorial del libro indicando el error pero de momento sigo esperando.
