That is less than four weeks.

Yes it is. They announce dit 8 months ago. That's plenty of lead time!

Campbell Ritchie wrote:The fact that an answer about failure to compile is included should make you suspicious.

More than half of the exam questions have "does not compile" as a choice. So you should be suspicious always!

Jimmy: Missing parens aren't common on the OCA, but they aren't unheard of either. (Missing squigglies are rare though). On the OCP, missing parens are really rare.

The certs are still listed as retiring December 31, 2018.

Note there is a separate thing for companies called the Java specialization. I don't know when that retires, so it could be different. But it's not the cert!

Daniel,
Like you said, this is probably country specific. My two suggestions:

Look for remote work in other EU countries. Where theys peak English or another language you speak. A country bigger than Belgium is probably more likely to have remote jobs

Go to the local Belgian user groups and network there. Try to find out if anyone knows of a place where you can work remotely

CCNA is a network cert. So I imagine it is useful in the network space. However, this is a programming site. And in the programming space, I wouldn't' expect it to be important at all.

Manning is running a Go tournament through January 30th. You can sign up on their site..

Everyone who signs up recieves digital copies of Deep Reinforcement Learning in Action, Grokking Deep Reinforcement Learning, and Reinforcement Learning in Motion completely free until the end of the contest. There's also a 50% of code buildyourbot50 to get half off Deep Learning and the Game of Go.

The contest is a Ladder format (So beat those directly above you to go up a step), with the top 3 winners winning prizes.

What do you win?
1st place wins a liveBook sub for one whole year (That's every book we've released) along with permanent digital versions of Deep Reinforcement Learning in Action, Grokking Deep Reinforcement Learning, and Reinforcement Learning in Motion.
Manning has a handy cheat sheet and step-by-step guide to building the bot and joining the contest at

No Go or bot experience required. Sounds fun!

Jon,
Start with total. That's the easiest. Could you create a variable outside the loop and update it each time you go through the loop to keep a running total?

Once that works, you can start to think about what variables you would need for the other things in the assignment.

Think about the different scenarios for replace:
1) The element is found. Here you would check that the method returns true and the map has the new value.
2) The element is not found. Here you would check that the method returns false and the map has the original values.

Updated list. Congrats Davin!

Note: At this point, all winners stand. (I'm tired of drawing winners.) If any other winners have the book, I recommend asking a teammate if they'd like a copy.

There's not one right way to right tests. That's a lot of code, but it looks fine at first glance. Was there something specific you were wondering about?

Welcome Jurgis! Learning to program is fun!

Liutauras and Junilu already have the book so I drew to more winners. Congratulations Himanshu and Tony!
