It's time to update CSSLP CBK. The last version was published in 2013.We need CSSLP CBK third edition.

It looks like they've added more weight to Architecture, which makes sense, because architecture is the foundation for your design and implementation.

Hi @AndreaMoore do you have any information as to when updated study guides and CBK will be available. I've been putting off getting started on this Certification until new materials are available. 

Any insights greatly appreciated as I'm keen to get started.

Many thanks
