Introduction

Hi to every body and welcome to my blog....

The reason to start this blog is to provide information and study materials which at present is hard to find online for OCP certification. In the course of time i will put together the syllabus and study materials that would help pass the 1Z0-204 and other certifications which i will be a part of.
Your comments and constructive criticisms are most welcome. I would also urge to share any information that is relevant to the certifications which would help other to pass the certifications. Please feel free to contact me if any information is needed.

Thanks
