Thanks Mala, publisher and Coderanch Team. Its great to start java/ certification with a book win.

Congrats other winners.

Thanks, Jeanne and Sanaulla. It was a privilege to promote this book at JavaRanch. I enjoyed answering questions during the promotion.

Congratulations to all the winners. I wish you Good Luck!

Thanks Mala. So let the Java 7 cert process begins.

Given part 1 only covers half the JP exams, will the book also help with the upgrade exam?

I did post on this topic and its unforunate i did not win.
I'm truely disappointed

;(

I doubt it will be helpful, because it doesn't cover any of the advanced new language features. Just a few simple features like diamond syntax, boolean literals, strings in switches,... But that was actually a question you could have asked during the promo

Glad to be a winner!

Hi Guys,
Congratulations to all Winners.
Happy Programming and Happy Certification.
Raising a Toast for all the winners.

Tsang,

In addition to the Language Enhancements, Upgrade to Java SE 7 Programmer exam (1Z0-805) covers Design Patterns, Database Applications with JDBC, Concurrency, Localization Java File I/O (NIO.2). These topics are part of Java SE 7 Programmer II exam (1Z0-804) and not Java SE 7 Programmer I exam (1Z0-803). So you can't use this book for the Upgrade to Java SE 7 Programmer exam.

If you have already earned the Java Programmer's certification (any version) then you need not write OCA Java SE 7 Programmer I.

I wish you Good Luck with your exam preparation.

With respect,
Mala

Congratulations to all the winners!

Too bad. I understand most of the upgrade stuff is in the part 2 exam but the book should help with some of the language enhancements.

Congratulations to the winners.

Tsang,

This book covers Java language enhancements relevant to the OCA Java SE 7 Programmer Certification.

With respect,
Mala
