Either the book or the website. Unless you are familiar with the patterns already in which case the Cade/Sheil book provides enough of a review.

Jeanne you did not mentioned about J2EE design patterns since it is covered as part of the exam, do you think there is need to buy & go thru this book Core J2EE Patterns: Best Practices and Design Strategies (2nd Edition) ?

Thank for your help. Now you are my role model for the SCEA guidance.

I don't know how to link directly to an Amazon review. Here's the JavaRanch link though. It's the same review.

It would be nice, if now you can put link for your amazon review.

Flash cards are a concept. You buy index cards (which are sold at Staples and drug stores.) 3.5 x 5 inch ones are good. On one side, you write a keyword or question. On the other side, you write the answer. Then you shuffle the cards and quiz yourself. Since only once concept is on each card, you can easily focus on the ones for which you need more help.

You said you made flash cards for design patterns. I’vent used them ever, could you guide us to the link where we can buy them? Searched staples didn’t made much sense.

I can say that this is the perfect way of sharing an experience of professional certification.

Congratulations Jeanne.

I am sure you may recollect and remember me I am a fellow Java Ranch-ian with the name ‘Raghavan Muthu’!!!

Tej,
You’re right. I did read that book. There are two books with the same title and I got confused. The one I recommend is the Cade/Sheil version and for some reason I was thinking of the other one when I read your post. Sorry for the confusion.
