This book helped me pass the 1Z0-808 test with a 90% grade. I am an experienced C++/C# software engineer, with a limited Java background. My goal in taking the test was to improve my understanding of core Java. I set the goal of taking the exam before the end of 2016 (two months after purchasing this book). This kept me motivated to study and I learned a lot more than I expected to. Most developers having a OO background in another language will easily pick up Java, but there are quiet a few details to the language that are easy to gloss over and separate a good Java developer from an average one in my opinion. The exam and in particular this book help very much in that regard. Thanks to the authors!
After passing the exam, I immediately purchased the book for the next exam 1Z0-809. The material in this one is a lot more interesting working with lambdas, streams, threads etc.., although I hear the exam is much more difficult (I will find out soon enough).
Highly recommended for studying for the exam or just learning core java.
