About the SCJP 1.4 exam

The SCJP 1.4 exam is the first in a series of Java certification exams offered by Sun Microsystems, and for many programmers it is the first step to becoming established as a competent Java developer.

The exam tests the knowledge of Java fundamentals and requires in-depth knowledge of the syntax and semantics of the language. Even experienced Java programmers can benefit from preparing for the SCJP exam. You get to learn very subtle and useful tips you might not have been aware of, even after many years of Java programming.
