Work are getting me to do the Sun Certified Programmer for the Java 2 Platform 1.4 exam. well ive got about 10 weeks to study for it etc.
Anyone recommend any books geared towards this exam, ive got experience developing in java.
Has anyone done this course or a similar one?

http://www.jchq.net/ - Pretty much everyone I know swears by this site.

WhizLabs also sell a 1.4 Mock exam tester - http://www.whizlabs.com/scjp/scjp-1.4.html

The only bad thing I have to say about it (having looked at it) is that it requires a serial number that is coded to your machine and is a pain if you have to reformat your machine or want to try it out on a laptop/machine at home.

We're thinking of getting the following book:
