Well, not quite, though I did pass my Java Certified Programmer exam this afternoon. I’ve spent a fair amount of my free time over the last month studying with this book by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates. I picked it up from bookpool at a great price in early June but put the afterburners on in the past week or two. The tone of the book got to me at times, but what can I say, it allowed me to fill in the gaps and pass the test.
