Welcome to the Java Skinny. This is a collection of resources about Java designed to assist with studying for and taking the Java Certification Exam.

Currently this site is under development and I only have a few files that I am working on available. You feedback on information in these file would be very valuable. Send any comments to me at philion@acmerocket.com.

Some study materials that I have put together:

• Certification Topics
  A list of the Certification Topics with explanations and source code. This is a first (rough) draft.
• Certification Example
  The example from the Java Certification site the answer and explaination.

 

Online Resources

The Java Certification Study Group provides resources and discussions lists about Java certification.

Focus on Java has a good Java Certification page

Barry Boon's Learn Java site has some good information about Java Certification. He wrote a couple of the books about Java Certification.

Digital Think offers two Java Certification prep cources:

• Java Certification for Programmers
• Java Certification for Developers

The Java tutorial on the JavaSoft site is very detailed and a good place to start learning about Java. You can also download the tutorial for study off-line.

Another good Java tutorial is The Real Scoop on Java, Richard Baldwin's Java Programming Tutorials. It has a couple of tutorials:

None of this page (or my Java Certification) would have been possible without the help and support of the Java Study Group. There is a really great Java Resources page at their site.

I have added a list of Java Certification books to the Acme Rocket Bookshelf.
