Hi friends,

I'd like to know which is the best book for the preparation of SCBCD 5.0 exam? I've no experience in EJB developement, and I'm actually student. I've already cleared SCWCD and SCJP. Can I go for HF? Is there actually no book of Head First for SCBCD 5.0 preparation?

A: 

The Head First for EJB claims to be a good study guide. I haven't taken the exam so I'm not a great authority. It has a sample test in it. According to Amazon the author is a codeveloper of the SCJP exam.

I tend to like the Head First books, they typically explain the subject matter quite well. However, they aren't concise.

  • Manning Java Persistence with Hibernate
  • Manning EJB 3 in Action

The two books above should clear all basic concepts. After that you can pick up any certification specific books.
