Sites for DEV 401 Preparation...

Before starting with any material, please go through the force.com fundamentals book chapter by chapter. Try to build the recruiting application as described in the book. Because most of the questions are based on this sample application. You can find the book at :

wiki.developerforce.com/page/Force_Platform_Fundamentals

The sites that I have mentioned below are the ones that I had used to prepare for the DEV 401 exam and it would be nice to go through the video tutorials and make note of the sample question and answers first.

 Finally when you have prepared enough for the exam, please go through the book by Siddesh Kabe

“Force.com Developer Certification Handbook (DEV401)” as this has a sample question and answer section that covers most of the important questions of the actual certification exam. 

 You can read this online at http://my.safaribooksonline.com/9781849683487

The book by Siddesh doesnt cover all the topics in depth. but it gives an overview of what is needed for the DEV 401 certification exam. So keep this book as just an option for reviewing before going to the exam.

Zishan Razzaq has done a wonderful job by outlining the tips for the exam at:
