Purpose of the article

I passed the Java Silver I received the other day. (Score rate is 72%)

Even that, I had never touched Java until I joined the company, When I learned in the training Moreover, I am inexperienced in on-site development!

Humanities SE suffering from Java, I love coding, but I can't get a good score with Siilver ... If you are worried about reading this article, I hope that you will go on the path of passing even a little I decided to write an article.

I hope it will be helpful to everyone ...!

The purple book should be used as if you were reading the explanation. It's written simply, so Great for getting to the point quickly.

···But, It is difficult for me, who has little experience, to explain in some places. Often I'm about to give up ...

In such a case ・ Ask a friend who can do it (laughs) ・ Read the refreshing introduction to Java 2nd edition (clean series) Either is better.

The problem with purple books is that the explanations are very unfriendly. During the exercises I recommend you to solve the black book!

Even I, a beginner, can explain Kuromoto The explanation is polite enough to understand.

Study time / method

2 hours a day, 1 hour before work and 1 hour after work on weekdays On weekends, spend the entire day on either Saturday or Sunday, I continued that for a month and a half! The total study time is about 110 hours.

How to study ...

After finishing the exam, I would like to recommend "** After reading the explanation of the purple book chapter by chapter, Solve the problem in the corresponding range with a black book ** ".

The reason will be explained below.

How to pass?

The key is that ** exercises are ok only with black books **.

It looks like a seed reveal, Any questions that came up in the exam on the day The problem that appeared in the end of the black book mock exam ...? !! There were so many similar problems that I thought.

I solved the mock exam at the end of the book the day before the exam, Without being able to crush the mistake I challenged the production test, so The score rate is a little low, If you solve the mock exam at the end of the book over and over again, I think the score rate of 85% can be exceeded with a margin.

So to be honest,

Buy a black book to pass It is enough to solve the mock exam at the end of the book.

But I have no development experience like me If you are new to Java ** Solve the black book from the beginning while reading the explanation for each field properly in the purple book ** recommend. This is because Kuromoto only describes the problem and its explanation.

If you spend your precious time studying Not studying to pass the exam Acquire even a little Two birds with one stone are better at studying skills!

So, if you are a beginner, Don't just say the end of the black book, Please proceed with the study method introduced!

You can pass Java Silver Aiming to improve my own skills I hope you have a meaningful study time!
