Java FX is something totally off the plate. So it would NOT be a part of it.

I think Head First Series was of a different concept which started a way later than the SCJP book. I believe Kathy and Bert still inherit the same old fashion for this SCJP / OCPJP books. I would let Bert confirm it again.

And exactly what do you mean be "advanced Java"?

What topics are you thinking of?

Honestly such topics deserve to have their own books dedicated to it. Having a book (Head First series or not) covering all of these so-called advanced topics is over-daunting.

First question has been answered correctly. If you go to Oracle's website and find the exam objectives they are a close match to what's in K & B 7. FX is not in the objectives, it's not in the book.

As far as advanced Java, we have Servlets, EJB (out of date), and Design Patterns.

We discuss other advanced Java topics, and we always welcome authors who might want to try to write a Head First book. For example, over the years many people have asked for some variation on "Head First Spring and/or Hibernate". I don't think that our publisher O'Reilly ever got a single author who expressed interest in writing that book.

Right now Kathy and I are wrapping our brains around functional programming in general, and Java 8 - that's going to keep us busy for a while

Well, just to be clear... we're not yet saying that there will be a HF FP book. (maybe)

But, Java 8 introduces a lot of FP ideas, so we will be adding those FP ideas to HF Java.
