Less than one week after the Kindle version of our OCP book became available, the print copy of the OCP book is now shipping from Amazon! Our OCP 8 book, nearly twice the size of our previous OCA 8 book, contains everything you need to know to pass the OCP 8 certification exam. Even if you are not planning to take the exam, the book is a great introduction for seasoned developers to all of the new features in Java 8.

Jeanne and I wanted to take a moment and thank all of readers who’ve sent us positive feedback about our books. We’re glad that you’re excited, as we worked really hard to make this book even better than our last!

We’re also excited to learn that since the OCP book’s release, Amazon has consistently ranked it the “#1 Newly Released Java Programming Book”, as well as the “#1 Oracle Certification Book” (rankings updated hourly). This would not have been possible without the help of all of our supporters! Thanks again and happy reading!
