Feed Description: The blog looks at using Java and programming in general as it pops up in life as a Java programmer. It will have links to interesting Java articles and resources. It will also have a lot of SCJP Java 1.5 information and links as I am currently studying
I have found some really useful links for the SCJP Java 5 exam.This article is well written and covers quite a few of the tricky areas of the Java 5 SCJP Exam.Even if you aren?t studying for the exam these article?s might still be of interest to you because they cover topics like Autoboxing, serialization, printf and regular expressions.
Part 1
This link has information on the Wrapper classes added in Java 5 and the very useful Autoboxing and unboxing now make them a lot easier to use with literal variables (int, double, char etc)
Part 2
Concentrates on the Java.io packages and reading files and using the BufferedWriters and readers.This is can be quite a tricky area in the exam because you need to know what order you use the classes.
Part 3
This is all about serialization.I found this very useful because I don?t use serialization in my daily programming life, so it was a completely new subject and the more information I could read about it the better.
Part 4
Is about using the Java.text package and formatting number, dates and Strings.Learning how to use the locale class so it transforms the data into the correct locale.
Part 5
One of the nightmare areas for the exam, the fearsome Regular Expressions section.It also talks about the C style printf, which allows you to format you System.outs.
