Hi,
I downloaded the free version of the Thinking in Java book, but I
understand there is a paid for version as well, an update to the free
version. Has anyone had experience with both? Is the free one worth
while or should one just get the paid version from the start?

Hi Jim,
Is there any point to getting the SCAA certification. I have never
thought that it is worth bothering about. Each job I have seen
requires the SCJP certification. As you know I love Thinking in Java.

Hi,
I was told today to begin to study to get ready for two Java
certifications, the Sun Java Certified Associate (SCJA) and the Sun
Certified Java Programmer (SCJP). I have the books I will be using for
the SCJP. I also have other material that I can use. I'm specifically
interested in any accessible material that I can use to study for the
SCJA. I found a book on Amazon that has great reviews, but of course,
it would be beautiful to find an accessible version of that one, or
some other book like it. On the blind programming and other lists,
I've seen people recommend Thinking In Java. I know of the Java
material on nonvisualdevelopment.org. As an accessibility
accommodation where I consult, I have a subscription to Safari. But
they don't seem to have a study book for the SCJA.
Thanks for any help, and is it OK to wine and cry when I really start
getting into how OO works? I promise not to swear on list. <grin>
