I've been reading the OCA Java 8 book both as a general refresher on Java and in preparation for the exam. I really like this book; here is why:1) Concise yet readable style. Complicated concepts are explained simply and intuitively, obscure edge cases pointed out as such, and, well, it's fun to read, which matters in a certification book (the genre normally tends to double as non-medical sleeping aid).2) The book started with a self assessment. I've been programming Java since 2002, and this was a humbling experience -- I proceeded to get half of the questions wrong. Ego issues aside, this was great because it made me pay more attention to the sections that I knew I did not get right.3) Portability. The pages are mercifully thin, the book is a paperback -- I can actually carry it around. I've lifted the old Java6 SCJP book (effectively a nerdy coffee table book, precisely 2 inches thick and printed on heavy stock), so I would say that making a portable cert book is an accomplishment. Granted, it helps that the exam got split up into 2 parts -- there is a lot less to cover for OCA. Still, this book feels to be less than a quarter of the McGraw-Hill SCJP tome weight.4) Examples. Lots and lots of examples. The best way to find out that you don't understand something is to trace an example and go, "what? no, that's not what should happen", and then read the section the second time and realize that yes, that's exactly what should happen.5) Detailed explanations of self-assessment questions. This book does not just tell you "the answer was A, B and F", it tells you why all the other answers were wrong, in excellent detail.Overall, I am very pleased with the book.
