About the Book
NOTE: The PCA exam has been updated since I wrote this book, and I have no plans to update this book. Thus, I am making this book available for free (but you can pay me any amount if you wish).
Most courses and books on the matter overload you with stuff that will never appear in the exam (good for your knowledge and understanding though). This book ruthlessly focuses on exactly what you need to know to pass this exam. No long-windedness, reams of documentation, or deployment walkthroughs.
In this book I also walk through all the three case studies that will appear in the exam, and provide some analysis so that you will be better prepared for the case study questions.
Some prerequisites:
