Best way to prepare for SJCP 1.4

Hello All,
I'm planning on taking the SJCP 1.4 exam and was wanting some current feedback on preparation on the exam. I have a couple of books and the Whizlabs exam software.
How much time should I expect to put in to prepare and is the Whizlabs software good? If I can pass the Whizlabs test with a certain score am I really ready to take the actual exam? I didn't pass the diagnostic exam on my first try, so I think I've got my work cut out for me.
Thanks,
James

Well I had read reviews previous on download.com and
their was complaints about the some of the answers
provided. There were also some pretty dodgy reviews.
Never trust anonymous "ratings" and "reviews". Often they're extremely skewed towards the negative because the majority of people taking part in such exercises (especially online) are those with a grudge, those who are not happy with a product.
It's not like formal consumer opinion polls where a group of people is approached at random (selected from the entire (potential) customer base) and asked their opinion, instead the respondents select themselves.
I think Javaranch hosts only decent exams for SCJPThey don't host anything, but link to external sites. Last time I checked (which is several years ago) most were indeed decent.
and the whole site is excellent for SCJP,Except the moderation is weird and tends towards moderators banning people for personal grudges, even simply because you disagree with them.

    where can i read more about it?

    Hi,
    Do as much as possible exercises based on your course material(which will be more than enough).
    If you know (some) Java and have understand the basics of OOP then this is enough for the exam.
    And do not forget:
    it is a multiple-choice test meaning that you see the possible answers.
    Either a single answer is correct (then you will have radio-buttons) or several answers are correct
    (then you will have checkboxes; in this case almost all questions will have more than one correct answer).
    You can refer to the topics for the certification

  • Best way to prepare photos for iPhoto printed book

    Hello,
    I was wondering what would be the best way to prepare photos for iPhoto printed book on a Macbook Pro so to achieve the most realistic results to what's on the screen
    ie. which software should I use to change photos from RGB to CMYK, photoshop or iPhoto itself. I'm guessing maybe the autofix feature in iPhoto? (I don't have Aperture)
    Secondly, which monitor color setting should I set the screen at? I'm guessing it's either Apple RGB or Colour LCD, maybe even ColorMatch RGB?
    Any any other tips that people can give in achieving the most realistic results to what you have on the screen when your printed iPhoto book gets sent back. I don't want the mid tones to disappear or become too bright because the gamma and color settings were different to what they use at the other end.
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    The situation has changed a little, our original photos are in RAW format and some of them are slightly over saturated in the higher tones.
    I've read on other threads that it is a good idea to run the 'Enhance' tool on all photos before sending the iPhoto Book away.
    Since iPhoto's 'Enhance' tools seems to do a lot of helpful things like sharpen, adjust the levels, etc it also seems to notch the contrast up and this would prove destructive for the lighter and darker tones not captured by the camera's dynamic range.
    So as I've been advised it's best to use Apple's own tools before sending the iPhoto Book away, so I'm going to download the trial of Aperture.
    Does anyone have any more recommendations on which monitor colour profile setting to use etc. I've also read that iPhoto prints best from JPEGS so the RAW will obviously need changed. Will Aperture automatically save to Profile name: Camera RGB Profile after I've done some editing there?
    What would be the best way to prepare RAW images in aperture where some of them might need an Image Overlay in Photomatix then imported back to Aperture for printing an Apple/iPhoto style Book?
    Many thanks

  • New MBP - Best way to care for battery?

    Not sure if this is necessary anymore, but I am receiving my new MBP in the mail later today. What is the best way to care for the battery? Should I plug the MBP into the wall for an amount of time before turning it on, or at least wait until it is fully charged before turning it on for the first time? Is anything like that even necessary anymore?
    Thanks,
    Keith

    Here's what Apple recommends:
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
    Best use is frequently and lightly. Be sure to calibrate your battery every two months or so:

  • Custom IAC applications the best way to go for putting R/3 screens on web?

    Hi all,
    I am trying to figure out whether a Custom IAC would be a best way to go for putting custom developed R/3 transaction on the web. We want to put the R/3 transactions on the web but want to completely customize the look and feel of it. Is IAC the best way to go for it? will this work with any kind of transactions?
    cheer,
    i028982

    Hello,
    The ITS might not be the "best" way, but it sure would be an easy way.  If the transaction and screens are already created in the R/3 then you could just go to SE80 and create HTML templates to see if it will do what you want.  Steps:
    1. Transaction SE80
    2. Choose "Internet Service"
    3. Type in a custom developed z* name
    4. Right-click on the z* name and choose Create > Theme
    5. Create theme 99 (standard theme)
    6. Right-click on the z* name again and choose Create > Template
    7. Type in all information, theme number, program name and screen number.  Play with the "Generation Style" to see which one would better fit your transaction.
    After creating the screens you can publish to your ITS and give it a test.  Maybe this is all you need, if so, it would be fast and readily available.
    Best regards,

  • Best Way to Check for same Word in string?

    If I have an array of words, would the best way to check for the same word be to use 2 for loops?

    Huh?
    Sounds like homework...
    What is a word? Presumably a String.
    For equality of Strings you use...
        String s1 = ....
        String s2 =....
        if (s1 == s2) { equal depending on null case
        else if ((s1 != null) && (s1.equals(s2))) { equal }
    For the case of checking one array to another....
          while items in array1
                 get itema from array1
                      while items in array2
                           get itemb array2
                                  is itemb equal (see above) to itema
                                         yes - then do something

  • Best way to look for next char in String that is NOT "-" or " " or ","?

    I have a long String that is sent to me and needs to be parsed. Normally I can figure the end of the line by a line break, but sometimes the line break is lost only after the second line. This second line contains the characters:
    These characters can all appear any number of times. I will know I'm at the end of the line when I hit a character that is not one of those three. What is the best way to look for this? Is there an already set method in the Java API?
    Thanks for all the help!

    There are solutions using regular expression, eg; you can split string once a time using minus char, whitespace or comma:
    String tokens[] = anyString.split("\\-|\\x20|,");
    More sophisticated expressions could be done to achieve results:
    String re = "^(.+)(\\-|\\x20|,)(.)(.*)$";
    Matcher m = Pattern.compile(re).matcher(anyString);
    if (m.matches()) {
    String
    before = m.group(1),
    delimiter = m.group(2),
    firstCharAfterDelimiter = m.group(3),
    suffix = m.group(4);

  • What is best way to prepare Pre for resale.

    I am selling one of my Pres.  What is the best way to get it ready for resale.  I never 'patched' or 'homebrew' the Pre.  I want to make sure that all personal information is wiped from the phone, including purchased apps.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    Once you're certain that you've copied off all needed information from your Pre, go to Device Info, Reset Options, Full Erase. This will erase everything, including all apps and data and everything on the USB drive partition. If you're particularly worried about getting rid of all personal info, select Secure Full Erase.

  • Best way to prepare an iMac for sale?

    I have a 2007 24" iMac I would like to sell. I had upgraded it to 4 GB of RAM and it is running Mavericks. I would like to offer it with Mavericks installed. What's the best way to "reset it all" so my stuff is all cleared out, and the new owner will be able to go through setup and set their own username and settings?
    Thanks,
    doug

    see What to do before selling or giving away your Mac - Support - Apple
    However you will not be able to sell it with Mavericks you will have to install the original OS (or the last OS you bought on DVDs).
    The license for the App Store versions of Apple software does not allow you to transfer it. It is tied to your Apple ID and for the new user to use it (even if it was legal to transfer it) you would have to give them you Apple account.

  • What's the best way to export for print?

    I usually upload images to my local photoprinting shop. What's the best way to do that with Lightroom? Since lightroom does the final sharpening in the print module, how do I get that into the exported file since there is no export function in the print module? Also, how do I get the proper dpi and sizing info into the photo for the print shop? Thanks.

    There is no good way to prepare images for printing from a file from a commercial printer by using Lightroom alone. You need to do an export of the image without any resizing or color space conversion, and then use some other program of your choice to 'finish' the file.
    It's just plain missing functionality... Lightroom assumes that you will be printing photos yourself and it is missing a whole lot of stuff in order to support external printing, including:
    a) Resize to exact pixel dimensions. Many labs require an exact pixel count for a given print size, so for example for an 8x10 they need a 2400 x 3000 pixel image. Can't be done in Lightroom.
    b) Trim adjustment. If you are doing full bleed photos (no margin), you might need to provide about 0.05 inch of 'trim space' to compensate for image loss during printing. Can't be done in Lightroom.
    c) Exporting to a specific printer profile. Can't be done.
    d) Adding margins, text, etc. Many times my clients want a 1/4 inch margin in their photos to facilitate framing, or I put a dim watermark type text in the bottom corner. Can't be done.
    My solution. Do most processing in Lightroom, do an export, and then do a second export via qImage on a PC. It does all of the above plus much more. It's just a matter of using the right tool for the job, and LIghtroom has no facilities at all for printing to a file.
    I have been asking for "Print to File" ever since I was under NDA during the betas.

  • Best way to export for DVD

    Hi Guys
    Right, I am exporting to DVD and i want to know the best way to do this at the highest quality, but also, so the DVD will play on most players.
    I am shooting in HDV 1080i 60, importing to Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 (the older final cut pro) using the apple intermediate codec.
    I want to make the best quality SD dvd. The content is rarely over 5 minute's (kids music videos) but i am preparing a 50 minute show which needs to be put on DVD.
    I usually use; export to quicktime movie, with the setting dv pal 48 khz anamorphic, i use DVD studio pro also to make the DVD, but not sure what the best settings are.
    PLEASE HELP.

    The BEST export method I have found by comparing them all is by exporting using Compressor and the DVD Best Quality setting. Now this setting gives you a few different options for length of your project: 120 minutes, 150 minutes, or 90 minutes. And then with each of these length options comes the option of 4:3 or 16:9. So if your project is 50 minutes, select the DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes option, either 4:3 or 16:9 depending what your project is. After laying your cursor over this option it will open up a list of audio options. What I do is just select the "All" option, which then lists all 3 audio options in your batch window: AIFF, Dolby 2.0, and MPEG-2. What I then do is just delete the MPEG and Dolby options, leaving the AIFF. After waiting for it to compress (make sure you specify a destination for the files so you can find them) it will give you 2 files, an MPEG-2 file which is the movie file, and an AIFF file (looks like an itunes file) that is the audio file. At this point, open up DVD Studio Pro and drag these 2 files into the assets window, and you're good to go from there. Hope this helped.

  • Best Way to Prepare a Self Running Keynote

    Hi,
    Hoping to mine the collective wisdom here.
    I sell quite complex software solutions to the legal profession, and have a very elaborate Keynote (approx 1 hr when delivering personally) presentation as an initial introduction to the solution.
    Many audiences ask for a copy of this so they can replay it to their colleagues. I have to date exported the Keynote to iDVD and sent that to people who want it. However, this means that I am then relying on a "second-hand" message.
    What I want to do is prepare a DVD with the Keynote AND my narration dubbed on top. I know I can do this in FCP, it's just getting the methodology correct.
    I toyed with "re-doing" each of the Keynote slides in Photoshop etc. to drop into the timeline but have decided against this because some of the Keynote transitions and builds don't seem possible in FCP. So I think my best way is to export the Keynote as a QuickTime movie and pull this into FCP. I can then manually cut the one sequence where I need to without losing the transitions. What I would do is record the audio for a section and then adjust that clip's length in the timeline to match the audio length.
    Is this the best way to go about it?
    Also, when exporting the Keynote to QT, what's the best format to bring it back into FCP? I have already tried exporting in DV and this seems to give good results when played back through QT, but will re-encoding into MPEG2 when I burn the DVD lose more quality than it needs to? Is there a better codec for the initial export from Keynote?
    In fact, am I completely off my trolley using this approach? I'm very happy to be pointed in a totally (better) direction.
    Many thanks.
    David
