Become one of the first Java 17 developers in the world
The key to being certified early is to learn the material before the objectives are even announced. Here's a guide to the new topics based on my guesses of what will be on an exam
my books. • Some of the material in this presentation may appear in our upcoming certification books. • Oracle can announce anything (I don’t work for Oracle.) 6
