resources for Java 6 to 8 Upgrade - 1Z0-813

Post by TwistedLizard »

Greetings Enthuware,

Looking at your suggested resources for the Java 6 to 8 Upgrade - 1Z0-813, I see that you list Sierra & Bates OCP Java SE 8 Programmer II Exam Guide.

If I'm starting from java 6, does that mean that there's no new java 8 features already covered in the Programmer volume I that are assumed in volume II? Or, does volume II stand independently?

No, since there is no book that is specifically meant only for the 813 exam, you need to read relevant material from whatever books are available. These books contain most of the stuff that is required. However, it is possible that some objectives are left uncovered because, after all, these books are not meant for 813 exam.

Sorry, I asked 2 questions at once there.
Which are you answering no to?

No, there are no assumptions in volume 2 that the reader already understands j8 features beyond what they will already know from certification in a previous version?

Or the opposite:

No, volume 2 does not stand alone.

Apologies for my earlier imprecision.

No, volume 2 does not stand alone. It assumes that you know the content covered in volume 1.

Let me also make this clear - you will require other study material such as online articles, tutorials, and other Java 8 books) to cover all exam objectives of 1Z0-813.

Oh, I'd assumed
1) volumes 1 & 2 of Sierra & Bates were sufficient to cover all the topics of 1Z0-808 and 1Z0-809
2) 1Z0-813 topics were a subset of 1Z0-808 + 1Z0-809

and therefore volumes 1 & 2 would suffice for 1Z0-813.

Are there topics on 1Z0-813 that don't appear on either 1Z0-808 or 1Z0-809?

Yes, compare Java File I/O (NIO.2) and Java Collections objectives of 809 and 813.

As I said before though, it will be difficult for any one to commit on a set of books that will cover all 813 objectives. Books for 808+809 will cover almost everything. Our mock exams for 813 will round up everything that is left :)

Best book to learn Java from scratch in 2017?
I've been learning coding for quite some time now and about 2 weeks ago put my mind on Java and realized that thats the programming language I want to learn in order build my future ... So whats the best book that explains Java fundamentals as well as core Java ?

It is a bit difficult to suggest the "best" book because no one knows what kind of style you like or what level you are at and what your goals are. Do you also want to prepare for OCAJP exam while learning java or just want to clear fundamentals. Do you prefer long explanatory text or fast moving brief notes. The ones by Herbert Schiltz and Cray Horstman are well liked.
