Reddit mentions of OCP Java SE 7 Programmer II Certification Guide: Prepare for the 1ZO-804 exam

I would go for 8. If nothing else it's new and it won't be outdated that soon.

Study materials and books I have read and used for Java 7:

This book is waste of time. It won't prepare you for test at all. Also it has lots of mistakes

Books from Mala Gupta I recomend a lot. She knows how to write a book + very good examples

I really recomend buying mocking tests from Enthuware. I think I wouldn't make it without it. The website looks a bit suspicious but it's legit

I've gotten all of the back-end work complete for the application(had downtime at work) so now I just need to add in the UI. Java isn't my primary language but it's close enough that it didn't trip me up.

Regarding the code translation: definitely not looking forward to that. I had heard another guy from this forum say the same thing.

I finished the OCA in two weeks. The OCP I studied off an on for most of the term and used a mix of materials, the ucertify stuff and this book
