Authors: Kathy Sierra & Bert Bates
Publication: O’Reilly

Yet another certification book written by Kathy & Bert. Needless to say abt the quality of teaching and effectiveness of the book… This book is one among the popular Head First Series… It uses pictures, comics, conversations, and humorous emotions to make you understand the concepts clearly and quickly than ever possible. Initially, it appeared childish… but later I realized how productive it is.

Sierra’s weblog, Creating Passionate Users @ http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/ rocks. Based on it, I decided to check this out, and it’s got to be one of the best learning books I’ve looked at compared to any technical book I’ve used before. (For a reference book though, look elsewhere…)
