Enthuware mock tests

That is a pretty good combo. Read the book, do the mock tests. If you get 70% on the final mock test, you are good to go.

Starting out with Java

It was the book I used in the intro Java class I took at the local CC. I absolutely love this book. I am going through it chapter by chapter and learning a ton. After I am 100% done with that book I will jump in to this book: OCA/OCP Java SE 7

After that I will attempt to get certified. I will then work on learning Android with Java and get some things on Google Play and then see if I can get employed with all of the above along with an active Git account that never takes a day off.

Since I don't care about where in the US my family lives really - and I am not wanting a six figure salary out the gate - I am certain I will find SOMETHING with the above. If anyone reads the above and thinks other wise let me know. I have to do this self study since I am 40 with a family and can't afford to drop 30k+ on school. Was just laid off in Oct so I am using my "free" time to bang this out.

Study more about Java. If you can afford this book, then it'd be amazing. Complete Java knowledge right there including topics that deal with Threads, Generics, etc. All the essentials a Java programmer should know.

This is because in Android, you'll be dealing with a lot of Inner/Anonymous classes, Inheritance/Abstract classes, and Generics.
