If you are familiar with Java versions prior to 8, then I would start with our Java 8 OCA study guide and use this book to practice for the exam. It'll teach you the basics of what you have missed and the tests will prepare you for the real thing. If your already familiar with Java 8 you can jump to this book, although there's many complex topics, especially for the OCP that a full study guide would help with.
Alternatively, if you are completely new to programming, we recommend starting with a book about programming concepts, rather than jumping into a certification book.
Either way, good luck!
