SCEA book publication and shipment dates



The book has gone to the printers! It comes off the press on Monday February 1st and gets to Pearson's warehouse on February 4th. From there it usually takes a week to get to Amazon (in the US). Here's the Amazon US and Amazon UK links. It's also available for the Kindle.

People who placed pre-orders for hard copy editions will receive their shipment first - shipped direct from Pearson's warehouse next week.

As far as the online edition goes, the Rough Cut disappears after the final update (which matches the printed book) and it then becomes part of the regular Safari Library and is accessible to all subscribers.

If these dates change, I'll put out another update. It will be fantastic to see the book finally out there!

Hi Humphrey

Any chance of getting the latest version of the book up on Safari rough cuts?
The last few versions supplied on rough cuts have only been 131 pages long

Hi

I think the rough cuts period of the book is over now - Safari will be updated with the full version of the book very shortly. Physical copies of it have already been delivered in the US so should be any day now..

Actually, the book is still available as a rough cut on Safari Books online; I'm excited to read it!

Humphrey: I had a few questions about the SCEA:

1. Are there any guidelines or references for material it's acceptable to discuss (or details not to discuss) regarding the exam?

2. Are there statistics available on the SCEA (eg: total number of SCEAs, pass rate, etc.)?

Thanks!
Andy

Hi Humphrey

Just letting you know,I passed part1 of the scea exam by using your book.
The details in your book were excellent and I didnt have to do too much extra reading on topis. The main resources i used were your book and the Whizlabs exams simulator.

Thanks again for such a good publication, looking forward to using it for parts2 and 3

Thanks
