Summary: value for money
Review: This is the cheapest and best investment you could make for the scwcd exam. The book covers the exam objectives very thoroughly. As others have noted, the examples are simple and to the point. This was extremely helpful for a beginner like me. The CD contains 3 jwebplus tests which are as tough/easy as the actual exam. I owe my 88% to this book and I am giving it 5 stars without hesitation.

Summary: Hit the spot
Review: While tinkering with the idea of going for the certification, I got this book. My day job required work on declarative error handling and I found the answer easily with exactly the detail I needed to integrate it into my application. I thought I knew a lot about J2EE web applications until I tried my hand at the quiz at the end - needless to say, I have some homework to do!

Summary: Great buy
Review: I would have given it 5 stars but for some annoying typos. I gave 4 stars because the content is top quality. At least I didn't see any conceptual mistakes as in the sybex book. Authors know what they are talking about.
Exam coverage: Excellent. Explains the concepts thru simple examples. Chapters contain 'Quizlets', which are short questions and answers. They make an interesting reading. Quick prep is quite valuable.

Summary: Excellent resource for the test and beyond!
Review: I bought the electronic version of this book because I could not wait for the paper version. Excellent coverage of very difficult concepts presented in a LOGICAL, readable manner. Each chapter is prefaced by the exam objectives that it covers.The book also has good examples (not just stupid "foo" "bar" "baz" stuff), and nicely drawn flow-chart illustrations of things like custom tag processing. It wasn't easy to rip through this material quickly, but this book did not slow me down; in fact it helped by being so well organized. Don't test without it!

Summary: Excellent book
Review: I work as a contractor and I had to get the SCWCD certification because my company forced me to. I bought this book mainly for this purpose and I am very much satisfied with it as I passed the exam with 93%.
I have been working with JSP/Servlets for an year now, and I had no intention to spend a lot of time in studying for the certification. I just wanted to cram the required stuff and get it over with. However, while reading this book, I really felt like reading it because it is filled with information and the writing style is so easy going.
I would recommend it even if one is not studying for the certification.
