First of all
I would like to thank
Jeannne Boyarsky
and
Scott Selikoff
for the OCA (Sybex) Study guide. I followed the book as base and referred to StackOverflow, Coderanch and JLS 8 to prepare for the OCA IZO808 exam. For practise I took Enthuware practise
test package. I was able to secure
88% in the final OCA exam.
Now I want to prepare for the OCP exam and I have already purchased the Sybex OCP Study guide. I was wondering, whether for OCP exam will I need to refer to specific materials on various topics separately, or the Study guide would be sufficient. I have worked on spring framework for 2 years in the past , when I began my career. However now I am into a non technical role in my current work position. Hence I do not get much exposure to writing code in my work place itself.
As for the future, I intend to go for
Java EE certifications as well , If I am done with the OCP certification with confidence in reasonable amount of time.
Any suggestions on how to proceed, or which materials to follow, or what kind of practise to be done, would be helpful and happily welcome.
