Preparing for SCJP

From suns Products & API  list download the following:

• Download and install either Java1.2 (also called as Java2) SDK or Java^TM 2 SDK, Standard EditionVersion 1.3.1. Version 1.3 is the lattest from sun's site and install in your local machine
• Download and install the Java2 API Documentation. This is a must in my opinion. I referred to it whenever I get any doubt.
• Download and install Sun's Java tutorial . If you are new to Java, it is a good idea to start with this tutorial.
• Also gothrough  JLS (Java Language Specification ) to strengthen Java knowledge.  http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/html/index.html
