Hi, I don't program in Java since a long time but now I've decided to start using it again. The problem is that except the basic thing (if/else, for/while, etc) I don't remember a lot of things... So, I don't want to read another book, how do you think is better review my Java knowledge?

Thanks.

I would study the Java framework classes and API's. There are a lot of useful classes there that will help you avoid reinventing the wheel. For example, try looking at the Java Collections classes:

Perhaps also study up on writing multi-threaded applications, such as sharing resources in a thread-safe way. Those techniques are always useful.

I think SCJP is the best. It has very good tests too :) You might don't know everything inside out, For example about "comparator interface" or how to override some Objct methods, or working with Threads :)
