I got Java SE8 silver on June 10, 2019, so I would like to write down my study method.
I was just going to pass, but I did a little too much ...
● It's hard to learn just by reading a book. I think the work of actually writing the program is very important. On top of that, I think Progate is very good for beginners.
As with me, I think that complete beginners often don't know what they made a mistake, such as forgetting to type a "semicolon", forgetting to declare a variable, or making a typo.
If you start writing a program using "eclipse" from the beginning, you will not know that it is caused by a boring typo or omission, and you will waste time.
In that respect, "Progate" points out mistakes and compares them with the answers to quickly find out what went wrong. I think that it is a very good teaching material to learn the basics such as points to be noted, how to remove blanks, how to remove indents.
(If you look beyond the qualification, it is important to practice finding the cause from the error text of "eclipse")
● Progate made 4-5 laps.
If you have some programming experience other than Java, about 2 laps may be enough, but I could not understand it completely from Java III to about 2 laps because I had no experience in programming.
From the experience of learning abstract mathematics in the past, trying to understand what you don't understand is a waste of time </ b>. If you don't understand the slides, I think there is a copy of the answer first.
If you don't know it with your head, you should move your hands first.
It is more efficient to start understanding after reaching the stage where you can understand it if you think about it.
● When aiming for Silver acquisition
The "Practice Edition" of "Introduction to Java that is refreshingly understood" is "unnecessary" when aiming for silver acquisition.
Chapters 1 to 4 and 6 are within the scope of the examination, so reading them will deepen your understanding, but
・ The contents of Chapters 1 to 4 (character string manipulation, date / time, collection, etc.) can be fully understood by reading the problem explanation of Kuromoto.
・ There is no problem even if you do not understand the "lambda expression" in Chapter 6. </ b>
● I have not purchased purple books. I never felt like I wanted it.
● As other test takers have said, There are a lot of problems with almost the same content as the "black book total finishing problem" </ font> </ b>. It's not exactly the same, but the problem of variable names, character strings / numbers, and the order of choices </ b> is about 80%. I felt that the claim that only Kuromoto should study was justified.
However, it is highly not recommended for those who have no programming experience to study in Kuromoto suddenly. Like me, you will be in despair.
■ Points of self-study
・ I don't understand what I'm writing ・ I don't even know what I don't understand
You don't have to despair.
If you repeat it, you will surely understand it. It's a waste of time to worry. Don't think too deeply, let's move on. All you have to do is go back and repeat until you understand.
■ Score rate of my black book total finishing problem
・ First time
Total finishing problem ①: 71% (55 questions / 77 questions) Total finishing problem (2): 79% (61 questions / 77 questions)
・ Second time
Total finishing problem ①: 87% (67 questions / 77 questions) Total finishing problem (2): 96% (74 questions / 77 questions)
■ Impressions About a month after I first saw the black book and was despaired, when I actually tried it, I felt that it was an unexpectedly easy test.
It was surprisingly difficult to apply for the exam. Others have explained it in detail, so I recommend you to take a look.
