Dear Jeanne & Scott,

Congrats for the book, and keep up with the good work!

My question would be, are future books will be released for new java versions and its certifications?
Java 9 isn't really around the corner yet, plus its release has been delayed, but probably many of us would like to get certified.
Maybe new Java EE Certifications will be supported by your great materials?
Personally I'm also intrested in beta exams, but for thoose, there are not too much sources to learn, maybe you consider a public early draft or insider preview for that?

What are the plans?
If anyone took OCAJP 8 exam, check your email!
Oracle sent an email with a possibility to get a free exam voucher for Java SE 8 Programmer II beta exam.
Nice one, Oracle!

did a detailed mapping (by objective #) on this site's wiki (like I did for the OCA and the Java 7 exam.) It's also editable by anyone who has an account here.



Under the Java Stream API section there is an objective: Use of () and flatMap() methods of the Stream API.

The first () is an accidentally missed function name, or the no argument operator of a lambda expression? The oracle exam page also has it the same way.
The exam objectives of Java SE 8 Programmer II Exam has been updated.

I have made a comparison excel for the OCJP 7 and 8 exam objectives, the main objectives are seems to change this way:

Removed:
Object-Oriented Design Principles
String Processing

Added:
Lambda Built-in Functional Interfaces
Java Stream API
Use Java SE 8 Date/Time API

Merged:
Java Concurrency (Threads & Concurrency)

Matching objectives also have differences, and should be compared in more detail, but the Kathy Sierra & Bert Bates books seems to cover the most of them.

Could anyone recommend sources for the new, Java 8 specific objectives? Articles, books, anything appropriate is appreciated!

Feel free to update the excel too with useful information.

What exam did you registered? The only exam I found is 1Z1-810 Upgrade to Java SE 8 Programmer, but it needs OCPJP 7 to upgrade from.

I'm looking for the standard OCPJP 8 upgrade, with Java SE 8 Programmer II, becouse I only have OCAJP 8, and no other older exams to upgrade from. It is also available somewhere?
Despite the exam results are expected for Jan 26, I have just checked my beta exam Score Report on certview.oracle.com and the result is visible!!

The exam itself doesn't show up in certification yet, but if you go 'Certification Activity -> Exam Results' menu, you can see the Exam Status. Click on the 'view' under Score Report tab.

Btw, thank you everyone of you for helping and contribruting in the preparation for the beta exam! Looking forward to take OCPJP 8 beta with you guys, when it's available
At line 3, you are trying to initialise a 2 dimenson array, but the reference is only a 1 dimension array.

You can define 1 dimension Arrays like:

You can define 2 dimension Arrays like:

It is no matter where you put the [] at the left site, but beware with:

However, your line 2 is very strange, because both of the next lines output true:

I am also curious about how is it possible
Welcome the great authors of great books and thank you for your work!
I'm taking OCA Java 8 beta exam in the start of novermber and SCJP 6 book helped me a lot with learning.
I think this book will be very useful, specially with the OCP level which I would like to take after if OCA succeed
Anyone have experience with Oracle chaning the Beta Exam Close Dates?

For 1Z1-808 Java SE 8 Programmer I, it says: (Beta end dates are tentative and subject to change without notice.)

Is this mean the exam can be closed earlier than November 15, 2014?
What if I scedule and exam for example at November 10, and they decide the close date is a week earlier? Is it possible?
