This is a very good book at explaining the material and I was able to get a good grade on the exam with this as my only text, but I agree with Steven's comments. Finding questions at the end of the chapter that weren't covered in the book was a major annoyance. The EJB book is even worse - I've never gotten past the first chapter of that book after trying twice because I couldn't answer any of the questions at the end.


I also found that I needed to take lots of notes and do a lot of study with a flashcard program in order to retain the material covered in HFSJ. More hands-on exercises would have helped.
