Review: Read the book carefully, do extra steps, and then take the exam soon after - If you are planning to take this exam, then I highly recommend this book. The author covers all the main points from the exam. She keeps the reader on track instead of wandering from one topic to the next. I would also recommend supplementing with mock exams online. Those are invaluable to prepare you for the strange nature of the questions. This book has several examples, but you need to work through many more to get used to it. Also, use your IDE to implement many concepts in code, and explore difficult concepts on the web. Then return to the book to get back on track.
Review: Excellent and Essential for Serious Java Developers - Well, it seems more of an add the title, but, this book is a must if you want to be a serious and compromised Java developer. There are many issues your code can acquire as you do modifications to it, but applying the practices mentioned here will allow you to reduce technical debt and enhance many of the desired attributes of software such as maintainability and extensibility. The advice is awesome, what one has to pay attention to is where to apply some of the latter practices, but yes, in general everything here is usable and has value. Book totally worth the money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic book!!
*by L***Z on August 29, 2021*

I’ve been using Java for almost a year now and this book definitely enhanced my understanding on the language and how to use its features more efficiently. I don’t recommend it as an introduction to the language, but once you do get familiar with its syntax and you start wondering what resource you should turn to improve your understanding of the language and its usability, then read this book! The writing is clean and comprehensive. I didn’t feel lost on most topics. I was able to follow along pretty consistently. The ones I did struggle with, I just re-read some parts of the passages and looked up some articles that were a little more introductory to what I was reading. If anyone is wondering how this book fairs on an e-reader, I read this all through a Kindle and I didn’t see any issues with the examples or text. Finally, if I had to make just one request, I’d say that a few more examples of bad practices vs the good ones would be awesome just to highlight the issues that a passage addresses. Amazing book nonetheless!
