Cleared Oracle ADF 12c Certification



Its been 3 years now that I cleared Oracle ADF 11g certification (1Z0-554), so I thought its high time to clear 12c as well and cleared Oracle Application Development Framework 12c Certified Implementation Specialist(1Z0-419)

Here I am to share my learning path.
Frankly I have not read any new books particularly for this exam.
But for ADF 11g exam, I did read Oracle ADF Real World Developer's Guide by Jobinesh
But I suggest to gain in depth knowledge of  ADF BC 12c new features which are very much required for this exam.

Overall exam covered each and every topic mentioned in the exam topics. I feel more preference is given to ADF BC validations and ADF Life Cycle.

Interesting observations I made during the 12c exam compared to 11g exam were:
Questions about Mobile Application Framework, like compatibility.
Definitely time allotted is not enough. May be I should have managed time well.
More in depth questions about pros of ADF over traditional JSF

Also, coolest way to have all your certifications at one place is to use Acclaim. Here, I started adding my certifications
