Contributing

Please contribute to making this list really awesome, exhaustive, and up to date.

Contributing to this list is easy: a pull request in this repo or you can also send me the info on LinkedIn or Twitter.

Please provide details as required by that section. Links, author names, date published, which certification(s) does it apply to, etc.

For book links, preferably send a search link with the book and author name. (Why? Using an amazon.com link assumes that all readers are in one country and using one book seller.)

Maintaining Exam Integrity

Google takes the privacy of the exams very seriously.

If and when you write notes, do not reveal details about the exam.
- What questions were asked?
- How many questions on each topic?
- Anything that compromises the integrity of the exam.

When one of my blog posts leaked some exam info, I was contacted by the Google Certifications Team.

If you find any posts that I've listed which might be a concern, please let me and also the original authors know.
