Sun Suggested Reading List

These are the books that have been suggested by Sun. This list is not on the official website as it is not complete. I got this directly from Sun. I have these books and have passed comment against each.

I haven’t started reading this yet, but from looking at the content it would be very valuable to know it but it is overkill for part I of SCEA for J2EE. I recommend this but as reference material for specific objectives like firewalls etc.

Java 2 Network Security
Marco Pistoia
Duane F. Reller
Deepak Gupta
Milind Nagnur
Ashok K. Ramani

I wouldn’t bother with this book. Is this an oversight on Sun’s behalf? Java is nowhere to be seen as the book is dedicated to Eiffel!

Design Patterns and Contracts
Jean-Marc Jezequel
Michel Train
Christine mingins

Must have this one

Design Patterns
Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, John
Vlissides, Grady Booch

I have never come across a bad book from O’Reilly. I did not personally use this one for part I preparation, preferring Monson’s book below.

Java Enterprise in a Nutshell
David Flanagan, Jim Farley
William Crawford
Kris Magnusson

Top drawer stuff. The good thing about this one is that it’s distilled so there’s less to read. I would recommend this one. I believe there are two versions of it but from postings I’ve seen there isn’t much difference.

UML Distilled
Martin Fowler

Excellent EJB / J2EE book. In my opinion this is a must. It covers EJB 1.1 (There is an older version that just covers EJB 1.0) which is apparently what the SCEA for J2EE is based on according to a mail I received from Sun. Pay attention to the differences between 1.0 and 1.1 which the book aptly distinguishes as there are some questions in part I of SCEA for J2EE which cross specifications, despite Sun’s insistence that the certification is targeted at EJB 1.1.
