certkit Jeanne and I thrilled to announce that our publisher, Wiley Sybex, has released our two Java 8 Study Guides together as a Java 8 Certification Kit! The Java 8 Certification Kit is now shipping! The Java 8 Certification Kit includes the following two books and is a 30% saving over buying them individually:

Between the two books, the Java 8 Certification Kit includes a total of:

  • More than 350 Review Questions
  • 40 Assessment Questions to evaluate your skill level
  • 6 Practice Exams (3 for OCA 8, 3 for OCP 8) totaling more than 300 questions
  • More than 450 Flash Cards
  • 2 Searchable Glossaries

If you want to become an Oracle Certified Professional, the Java 8 Certification Kit contains everything you need to complete the 1Z0-808 Exam and the 1Z0-809 Exam!

If you already hold a Java OCP 7 certification, the Java 8 Certification Kit will also help you pass the 1Z0-810 Exam. Finally, if you hold a Oracle or Sun Certification for Java 6 or older, the Java 8 Certification Kit provides a good refresher for everything you missed in the OCA 8 exam and contains an additional appendix to help you pass the 1Z0-813 Exam.

OCP: Oracle Certified Professional Java SE 8 Programmer II Study Guide: Exam 1Z1-809

Less than one week after the Kindle version of our OCP book became available, the print copy of the OCP book is now shipping from Amazon! Our OCP 8 book, nearly twice the size of our previous OCA 8 book, contains everything you need to know to pass the OCP 8 certification exam. Even if you are not planning to take the exam, the book is a great introduction for seasoned developers to all of the new features in Java 8.

Jeanne and I wanted to take a moment and thank all of readers who’ve sent us positive feedback about our books. We’re glad that you’re excited, as we worked really hard to make this book even better than our last!

We’re also excited to learn that since the OCP book’s release, Amazon has consistently ranked it the “#1 Newly Released Java Programming Book”, as well as the “#1 Oracle Certification Book” (rankings updated hourly). This would not have been possible without the help of all of our supporters! Thanks again and happy reading!

Scott and I currently have the #1 Oracle cert book on Amazon and the #20 Java book overall from our OCA 8 book. Granted this is misleading since it is a “book just came out” sales bump. But still really cool. It’s also cool to see questions like this one where you can see the reader understands or has a question about a subtle detail.

And thank you to everyone who has been sending us Errata.We are keeping a list on our OCA 8 book page. So far they are minor (typo things that don’t affect content.) Still, it’s good to have a list. That way we can fix them if there is a second printing or we write a Java 9 cert book! Plus if you are puzzled about whether it something is a typo, it is likely someone else reported it!
