Hey there - I have a new interest in VMware cert track.  I have some experience using esxi and vcenter at work, and have attended a few vmware trainings.  I really have no knowledge of what the exams contain and I'm just getting my feet wet.  Am I understanding that there is really no need for any books / printed reading material for the first exam?  As the other guy posted, I did see the Vmware press VCA book (I think from 2014).  I'm used to Cisco cert world where it would be somewhat unthinkable to not have some books and hardware.  Can you elaborate on what's really needed for the first exam for someone like me who has some experience already?  That would be great if the online material could probably get me through.  If there is a good book, can you recommend it?  Thanks
