Hello i want to know the right path of "java Developer" because when i go to java path link on oracle website i got confused and really can't understand the right path (i e which exam should i pass to proceed the another one and so on for OCA for example) and the names of exams is the same so i need to determine which 2 exam should i pass them to be java certified (OCA)

This very much depends on what certification do you want to achieve - take a look at this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Certification_Program IMHO it's quite comprehensive.

Kareem, the Oracle Certified Associate (OCA) can be taken for Java SE 7 and for Java SE 8. The exam 1Z0-808 refers to the SE 8 edition. 1Z0-803 refers to the SE 7 edition.
