Welcome to CodeRanch! I moved this to the cert forum for you since you accidentally posted in the wiki forum.
I recommend taking the Java 6 to 8 upgrade exam. That way you are only paying for one upgrade exam and getting yourself to current. Plus Scott & my book covers the upgrade exam so now there is study material for it . Seriously though. You have the Java 6 cert. So you can show on resumes that you are certified. Which means the value of upgrading is to show you are up to date (Java 8 helps more with that) and for personal learning (which you'll get either way.)
Thanks, you made it easy for me to decide.
I already purchased OCP Java 7 Book from Kathy Sierra and have been reading it. I will purchase your book too to cover Java 8 portion.
Just one question - I am very comfortable reading from PDF (on iPad and desktop). But I read on this forum somewhere that your book doesn't come with PDF. Is content in Kindle version exactly same?. Just want to make sure I will not be missing anything. Or is there way to get PDF copy?
Thanks again!
