Hi,
I apologize if this seems like a noob question, but I would appreciate any advice given.
After I left Active Duty in 2007, I was a software developer working on
SOAP and REST web services at 3 different companies including my current company for a total of approximately 7 1/2 years. In early 2016, I moved over to the cyber incident response team at my current company. After doing that type of work for 3 years, I came back to software development just under a year ago. I have my OCA Jave SE 5/6 and was wondering what certification path I should pursue.
Java 8 is still being rolled out at my current company and I previously purchased the OCA / OCP Java SE 8 Programmer Certification Kit: Exam 1Z0-808 and Exam 1Z0-809. Given that my current company is still rolling out Java 8, I assume that studying the books that I already purchased and obtaining both the OCA and OCP Java SE 8 certifications is the best path forward for me. But, I am curious to know if there would be any advantages for me to forgo the OCA / OCP Java SE 8 certification path and jump directly to the new Java SE 11 certification path.
Thanks!
Jason
