In reply to Muhammad Shah. Re CallableStatement, we confirmed with Oracle that the topic is not on the exam. Remember that there are sometimes unscored questions on the exam. Maybe Oracle is doing an experiment with that question.

Hey Rock Stars (Jeanne and Scott),

I have just passed 1Z0-819 OCP Java SE 11 Developer with 87%. I have provided feedback on the coderanch.

https://coderanch.com/t/738093/certification/Feedback#3432170

First, Thank you for your great effort in the form of OCP java 11 study guides and exam questions practice test books.

Second, there was a question on CallableStatement in JDBC. We all are getting a single JDBC question in CallableStatement. Can you please edit your blog?

Third, your service diagram on page 329 in chapter 6 Modular Application of OCP Java 11 Programmer II is wrong. The arrows are bit confusing. I have seen you use arrows for “requires” throughout your Book 1 and 2.

(i) As you mentioned “No one requires service provider” but there is an arrow from service locator to service provider. I think it should be deleted

(ii) As you found and made correction in errata page to remove arrow from service provider interface to service provider. I think, we still need an arrow but in opposite direction because service provider requires service provider interface.

I matched your diagram with yours and other exam questions. I made a correct picture. There is no way to attach the picture here. If you could send me your email address, I could send you the correct picture

Regards,

In reply to Adriana.

I wrote a free study reference for the practitioner. It’s nowhere near the scope of my book for the Java cert. But it is free and gives you a feel for what you need to study.

In reply to Adriana. Late April sounds like an accurate estimate for publication. There's a lot of new topics on the 816 exam: modularity, security, advanced modules. Plus topics that are in the OCP 8 book but are covered in a different scope like JDBC. It's a lot of work to study for an exam without a study guide!

Oh, Jeanne, I forgot last question: I read your information about AWS certifications. I’d like to take the first AWS certification (cloud practitioner).
Will you write books about this certification or other AWS certifications?
I bought some books about this certification, even the official guide of Amazon.

Your resume is all i would like to do and become.

Thanks!

Adriana

Hi Jeanne,
I’m preparing the upgrade of java (1Z0-817).
I bought both books for Java 8 and I passed 1Z0-808 and 1Z0-809.
Now I bought the first book about Java 11, but I want to ask you if I can buy the second book before the publication date shown on Amazon (April 28th).
I’d like to buy the Oracle voucher for the Java 11 exam but I will have to take the exam within six months of the purchase, so if I buy it today, by June 28 I have to take the exam otherwise the voucher will no longer be valid. I don’t know if I will do that, if the second book will be published on April 28th.
Are there any chances of the second book being published first?
I believe that in the second book only the private methods of the interfaces and a further deepening of modularity (as a novelty compared to Java 8) are left. Have you written any books on modularity? Maybe I could avoid buying the second one and studying another of your books on modularity.

Thanks a lot!

I have great respect for you!!!

Adriana
