I am a scjp, sun certified java programmer, and am almost a scjd, sun certified developer. It did not change my life, since I was already proficient before I took the exam. And the certifications do not teach you programming at all..

I used a very good book to prepare for the exam:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/00...glance&n=283155 but my colleagues who never saw any java had more trouble.
(there is also an equivalent book for java 5)
The book prepares you for the exam, but does not teach Java like normal books do. If you're just interested in taking exams it's perfect, If you really want to work in Java and not fall on your face in your first job with java then you should also read/try some other things. This is, offcourse, my _personal_ _opinion_

Itsacon agrees: I knew you'd take this one...
