SCWCD: Best book

Hi,
Can any one suggest me the best book to refer to give the SCWCD certification. I searched previous posts but did not find any. Moreover SUN recommends SCWCD by Hanumant Deshmukh. I have seen the reviews on this books that are rating very bad.
Which if these 3 is the best: Book from WROX publications or O'Reilly publications or the above by Hanumant Deshmukh.
Please suggest.
Thanks in Advance.

I would post this question in several more forums as three are not enough.

Is this the best book in town?

Hi all,
We need to purchase a book (intermediate to advanced) so can expand our knowledge of java on the following topics:
* handling errors with exceptions;
* multi-thread;
* java socket communication;
* Queues;
* I/O streams
We've been told that "The Java Programming Language" by Arnold, Gosling and Holmes 3rd edition is the best book in town.
Any comments, suggestions, etc.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Trajano

The Java Programming Language, 3rd ed is basically the manual for java; every developer ought to have a copy.
However it's not really a tutorial. It's more of a reference. If you want tutorials or commentary or the like, you might be better off with Effective Java by Bloch. Or one or more of various books dealing with these particular subject areas.

Best book for designing and architecting a java application?

Hi,
Please recommend the best book(s) in the market or on line tutorials which would help me architect and design a java application using SWING.
I have used most of the swing components in many small GUI apps I have developed [JTable, JTree, etc, etc ....] and do not need a beginners books [online tutorials at sun site are good for that]. A book tackling advance topics, which may not concentrate on coding but has very good cases to understand the design [both class level and usuablity] and architecture of the application.
I need to develop an editor for a GUI based language + a code genertor + mapper application [which will run as a application and may use webstart to run from a browser.]
THANKS !

I like "Pure JFC Swing" it's got a well written example for each and every Swing component. When I was learning to use swing each component I came across I could easily look at the example for that component and incorporate it into code for my app. That combined with the Javadoc was all I've ever needed.

Best book for Web Services

Can you suggest me what's best book for Web Services and XML to study? I'm planning to buy..
Thanks in advance..

Why does it need to be the best one? What would that even mean? Just buy something reputable, like an O'Reilly book, it's not going to be so horrifically poor that you can't learn from it

Before purchasing a book be sure to exhaust the excellent resources on the Apple Developer Site. There are quite a few guides, references, and samples for Objective-C.
Learning Objective-C: A Primer
The Objective-C Programming Language
Object-Oriented Programming with Objective-C
etc.
If you are developing for Mac or iOS, there are plenty of other documents describing the frameworks, including the Cocoa Fundamentals Guide, iOS App Programming Guide, etc.

Best books for a beginner.

I am in a Java class right now, and the material as it has been presented has been very confusing. I really want to get a good understanding of Java, my question is: What are the best books for someone that is starting to learn Java? I was looking through different reviews of Java books, and Just Java 2 by Peter van der Linden sounds good, but I want the book to explain Java in the simplest form as possible.
If I could get some more recommendations I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Head First Java is wonderful, but I wouldn't use that book on its own. It's a lot of theory, but very few examples and no programming exercises. Some books tell you how to do something, but they don't tell you why it works, so you end up unable to program anything that isn't exactly like what they showed you. Head First Java really gets into the why and it's great for making you think like a programmer, especially if the object-oriented thinking isn't coming naturally. But you need a book that has more of a tutorial format in addition to Head First.

What is the best books for MCSA 2012

pleas can you advice me what are the best books and materials for pass MCSA 2012?
thank you.

Hi, HFAA.
I understand you want to earn the MCSA title for something with a version number of
2012.
There are six (6) different MCSA certification titles currently available. Two of them are version 2012, which are Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012. Here is the web page that describes all six (6) MCSA titles:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-certification.aspx
I am going to assume that you are interested in the most popular MCSA 2012 title:
MCSA: Windows Server 2012.
The MCSA: Windows Server 2012 description web page is located here:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-windows-server-certification.aspx
Exams
You need to pass three (3) required exams to earn this title. If you click each of the links below, you will find the exams' descriptions with a
Skills measured section describing what is on each exam. As well, you will see a Preparation options section full of study resources for each exam.
70-410 Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012
70-411 Administering Windows Server 2012
70-412 Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services
Preparation Materials
Unfortunately, Microsoft has recently updated the content for these three (3) exams for
Windows Server 2012 R2. These new exams will officially be released on January 28th, 2014 (nine (9) days away). Because of that, all of the previously released study materials (books, exams, etc.) for 70-410, 70-411, and 70-412
will only be partially helpful in getting you ready for the exams.
However, Microsoft Press and O'Reilly Media are currently updating their books to include the new
R2 content and will be releasing them in February, March, and April of this year. The previous releases of their books seem to get the best reviews on Amazon for helping students prepare. Here are the books, with links on Amazon and
O'Reilly. As time goes by, books from other publishers will also be released.
Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=%22Windows%20server%202012%20r2%22%20exam
O'Reilly Media:
http://search.oreilly.com/?q=%22Server+2012+R2%22+exam&x=9&y=15
By the way, I tend to believe the O'Reilly's release dates are more accurate since they are the folks who are actually releasing the books!
WARNING: As of today (01/19/2014), I don't believe any of the three legitimate Practice Test Providers (Transcender, SelfTest, and MeasureUp) have updated their practice exams for Windows Server 2012 R2 - yet. If I am wrong, I hope someone
will correct me.
Focus all your studies on Windows Server 2012 R2 and should be ready to take on an exam. Always prepare for one exam at a time and then take it.
Also, make sure you take advantage of Microsoft's free Second Shot voucher program, which allows you to retake an exam for free in case you fail it the first time. This program will retire in May.

Good luck!

Best book for beginner?

Hello,
Can anyone recommend the best book for a complete novice to Illustrator?
Ive a background in GIS and am wanting to learn to improve my cartographic skills.
Does anyone know if theres a book out there that caters towards cartography in illustrator?
Anyway to get started and learn the basics any preference between Adobe Illustrator CS5 Classroom in a Book:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adobe-Illustrator-CS5-Classroom-Book/dp/032170178X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U TF8&qid=1306750888&sr=8-1
and
The Adobe Illustrator CS5 Wow! Book:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adobe-Illustrator-CS5-Wow-Book/dp/0321712447/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qi d=1306750974&sr=8-1
Thanks for any help/advice!!

The WOW book is really for someone with a working knowledge of illustrator and in my opinion pretty useless especially for a beginner.
Classroom in a Book is an instructional book with tutorials to follow and will give you a working knowledge of how Illustrator works.
Mordy Goldings Book Real World Illustrator will give essentially instructional use of the program similar to informatio in the help files but in an instructional way organized fro the beginning to to end of the features.
As far as for Cartography I do not know why there is not one on the market as one of he contributors to the WOW book is a cartographer.
Illustrator is used a lot by map makers so it would probably be a good idea to have such a book.

Whats the best book on JSTL?

Whats the best book on JSTL?

Actually I would recommend getting the specification.
It is quite readable, and shows exactly what all the tags do.
http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl/reference/api/index.html
If you want an actual book, then JSTL in Action is good. It is a little out of date being based on JSTL1.0, but there were not that many changes to the JSTL itself coming into 1.1 - mainly the changes were to the JSP spec. Everything it says pretty much still applies.

Best Book on ORACLE SQL for a Beginner?

Hi friends ....I have just finished my graduation....(BE ELECTRONICS) .....I am dead serious about mastering ORACLE DATABASE......I have basic idea about ORACLE....Yesterday I just installed Oracle 10g Release 2 for VISTA...I just wanted to know which is the best book for a beginner who want to master ORACLE SQL....?????/

its Tutor as well.....But Last word.......Which is
"the" book for a beginner amongst all the SQL books
suggested by my dear friends........It ALL depends on what your short, medium and long range objectives are.
For example: do you want to be
- an Oracle DBA expert;
- an Oracle database programming expert;
- a general database programming expert with a specialty in Oracle;
- an Oracle application programming expert;
- a general application programming expert?
Personally I would encourage being a general database programming expert with a specialty in Oracle. This is probably the rarest of the group, the least understood, and the most needed in the industry. If you were to follow that path, I'd recommend a very very strong grounding in SQL - which 99% of all programmers I've met do NOT have - before moving forward to any procedural enhancement to SQL (such as PL/SQL, Java, TransactSQL, etc.)
I am the first to propose Tom Kyte's books in the right situations, which usually include:
- dealing with someone already reasonably competent in SQL and development;
- someone who thinks that porting from SQL Server to Oracle is a snap, since they are all 'just different dialects of SQL', or;
- someone who is seriously looking for guidelines on approaching Oracle application development and tuning.
For a complete beginner, my list of books stands in my preferred order (one at a time), with the addition - at the end - of Tom's books.
