Best certification for a developer

Hi all.
I'm a developer and my company asked me to get a SAP certificate.
They let me choose the certification i prefere, so i'm here with some simple questions:
1-What is the best certificate for a developer? (i worked on R/3 4.7 release for 4 years and now i'm moving on 6.0).
2-Why?
3-How the exam works? (mnemonic questions? Solving problems? Developing some pieces of code?)
4-What is the best way to pass the exam? (SAP courses, books, voodoo rites )
Thank you for the answers.

Hi Simone,
1-What is the best certificate for a developer? (i worked on R/3 4.7 release for 4 years and now i'm moving on 6.0).
2-Why?
3-How the exam works? (mnemonic questions? Solving problems? Developing some pieces of code?)
4-What is the best way to pass the exam? (SAP courses, books, voodoo rites )
These are the answers:
1-There is nothing like best certification---U attempt for that in which you work. If u wrk in WD ABAP for examplr then you should take ABAP with netweaver. Or u shud get certified in the tech in which u r planning to wrk in future.
2-This certification gives an assurance to ur company and client that the person is competent enough to face challenges in the technology certified.So if u wrk in ABAP and certified in JAVA that will not be of much use.
3-Different exams have different passing percentages. All exams are multiple choices ( more than one aswers can be right). The exams are conducted by Pearson Vue for SAP and they have various exam centres accross the globe.
4-Best Way: If you are working in tht tech for some time then u need sam prepration ( ebooks or SAP training) for clearing it.
If it is new for u then go through the E-books very thoroughly and do some hands on to understand the concepts.
I hope it helps.

Oca 11g database certification for application developer

do i need oca 9i certification for getting 11g database certification for application developer not for DBA

user9334987 wrote:
some of my friend told me that i have to give 9i oca exams (one sql and one is for plsql) to appear for 11g oca. it means i will be eligible for 11g oca only after passing oca 9i is it true. i have seen your post given by you but it doesnot contain the answer of above question.Often I see people you say my friend say this .... my friends say that ... so often the friend is wrong. [http://www.oracle.com/education/certification] is authorative. Well usually.
The problems start when people are imprecise about the certification they are seeking ... the list is here ....
[http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=141]
If you notice there is no mention of '11g oca' or '9i oca' in the list.
There is mention of:
- Oracle 11g DBA OCA
- Oracle9i DBA OCA
- Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA
And one can drill down links to see the requirements for these certifcations:
for example for a - Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA a pass in one of (1z0-007 or 1z0-047 or 1z0-051 (or 1z0-001) ) plus a pass in one of (1z0-144 or 1z0-147) is required.
There is a post from mediaguy (that goes to a blog that is currently unavailable at the time of this post ... but will proably be fixed in a day or two) that I feel has a chance of being relevant also (note i have not read it yet). {thread:id=1049842}

Using common exam to achieve certification for OCA ( Developer + DBA )

Hi,
i have given a Oracle 9i : Introduction to Oracle 9i ( 1Z0-007) exam which is one of the two mandatory exams for OCA ( Developer ) . So my questions is .. once i complete my OCA ( Developer ) can i directly give (1Z0-031) to get an OCA (Dba) Certification or i would have to give the exam again ?
Thanx,
Abhishek

The exam (1z0-007) is a prerequisite exam for OCA (Developer or DBA Track). In your case, you have already passed the 1z0-007 exam, so you are very much eligible for writing the exam (1z0-031) without taking the exam (1z0-007) again to fulfill the prerequisite for the OCA – DBA track exams. Moreover, candidates may not retake a passed exam at any time. But, while registering for 1z0-031 exam, you have to show your passing details of the exam 1z0-007 to the parametric center.
Best of luck.

Best practices for a development/production scenario with ORACLE PORTAL 10G

Hi all,
we'd like to know what is the best approach for maintaining a dual development/production portal scenario. Specially important is the process of moving from dev. to prod. and what it implies in terms of portal availability in the production environment.
I suppose the best policy to achieve this is to have two portal instances and move content via transport sets. Am I right? Is there any specific documentation about dev/prod scenarios? Can anybody help with some experiences? We are a little afraid regarding transport sets, as we have heard some horror stories about them...
Thanks in advance and have a nice day.

It would be ok for a pair of pages and a template.
I meant transport sets failed for moving an entire pagegroup (about 100 pages, 1Gb of documents).
But if your need only deals with a few pages, I therefore would direclty developp on the production system : make a copy of the page, work on it, then change links.

Oracle database 11g certification for Java developer

Hello,
I'm Java developer, OCPJP 6 ( Oracle Certified Professional, Java Programmer +6+ ) and
I decided to pass exams: 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052 to get OCA ( Oracle Database +11g+ Administrator Certified Associate ) certificate,
but I need some advice, maybe i should seek other certificate, that would be more valuable for Java developer, than OCA.
Thanks for advice.

The answer of whether a particular certification is valuable depends on you, not the tests themselves. The Oracle Certified Master for example is an extremely prestigious certification, and I have considered seeking it at some point in the future to improve my professional credentials. However, the same certification would have absolutely no value to my wife, because she's a homemaker with no interest or intent of ever working with Oracle.
Using an example a little closer to yours, only reversed --- I work as a DBA and PL/SQL developer. On several occasions I have dabbled with Java, and took a couple of classes when I worked for Oracle. I could code in Java if I had to, but wouldn't really be good without a lot of practice. However, I've never really had a sufficient need in my work to dig in and really practice enough to use it. I considered going for the Oracle Java certifications as a means of kick-starting that and getting to the point where it was really a viable option in my development. Ultimately I decided not to because I've been working with Oracle for better than fifteen years and there has never been an occasion where I really felt a need to know Java. If I were to spend a bunch of time improving my Java skills just for the certification, there's no guarantee I would ever use them after that.
Coming back to you -- if you already need SQL and DBA skills in your work, then those certifications should be of value to you immediately. If you think that you might work (or want to work) more with SQL and DBA-level skills in the future, then they should be of value to you in the future. If you won't use the skills now or ever, then the exams do nothing but add a line to your resume (which still has value, but you must determine how much).

Performance Tuning Certification for Application Developer

Hi,
Can you please advise if there is any Oracle Performance Tuning certification for an Application Developer and Oracle 9i to 10G migration certification? If yes, can you please let me know its Oracle examination number?
I have already passed 1Z0-007 and 1Z0-147 in Oct 2008.
Thanks in advance,
Sandeep Kumar

... if there is any Oracle Performance Tuning certification for an Application Developer ...There is no performance tuning related certification for application developers. There is one for the DBA track.
Also -- to answer your question in the other thread:
So to clear this certification do I need to re-appear all the 3 exams as they were given in 2008 or just 1Z0-146 is enough.Having passed 1Z0-007 and 1Z0-147, if you pass 1Z0-046, you will gain the certification: Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional

Best practices for "designer - developer" interaction in Flex Mobile

Hi,
I'm starting development of a mobile software application and Flex Mobile is the platform I've chosen for that.
What is the best practice / recommended workflow for designer-developer interaction? For example in web application the designer provides HTML/CSS templates to the developer which integrates them in the Web Application. What is the analogue in Flex Mobile? What should I request as input from the designer?
I'll appreciate any hints, links, advises or previous experience on the topic.
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Dinko

If you're using Adaptive Web Design (CSS3 media queries), you can maintain one site with CSS Layouts optimized for different device widths.

If you're actually running separate web sites for mobile and non-mobile devices, have a look at this recent discussion:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4177360#4177360
IMO, there is nothing wrong with providing links for mobile and non-mobile users to choose which site they would prefer to use -- especially for tablets who may have an interest in both.

Best book for Web Developer learning flash

I've gotten far on my own just using online tutorials and dinking around in Flash on my own but my boss(es) are starting to ask for more complex stuff that I simply can't learn by just piecing together my Flash education.
I know there's many, many books out there that will teach you Flash but can anyone recommend any particular one(s) that are more concentrated in creating Web elements as opposed to game or animation development?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I hope this link would be helpful for you books For web developer Using Flash by "William Sanders"

Best Practices for Team Development

Hi!
I've a question regarding a project using JHeadstart 10.1.2. I've a small team that will work on a new project.
1. Which are the best practices to handle a project in a team environment? Besides using a version control system and so on. Is it advisable to use multiples Application Structures Files? One for each developer and for each "subapplication".
2. A component of the system is a kind of "Task Management System" that needs to be available across all the "sub applications" Which is the best way to share that component between the applications?
Best regards,
Gerardo

Gerardo,
Yes, we usually create separate application structure files for sub systems. Each subsystem is then accessed through a global button, so the subsystems can keep their own generated menu structure. This technique is also used in the JHeadstart Demo application, shipped with release 10.1.2.1 or higher.
For more info on team-based development, see this thread:

Please create a new thread for your other question.

Best program for web development?

Hello everyone
I was just wondering what is in your opinion the best tool for creating web based applications (or even desktop based applications).
I have used Jdeveloper and Dreamweaver before and Jdeveloper had a lot more functionality out of the box but Dreamweaver seemed to give me more freedom (especially when working with the design part of my page).
Also Jdeveloper is a lot more complex but I think without fully understanding every aspect of it you can develop some pretty nifty applications. My main gripe is the deployment which has to have the same version of weblogic and Jdeveloper and you have to install Jdeveloper on the server (the weblogic server alone isn't enough) to support ADF etc.
I don't have experience in the other ones (NetBeans, Eclipse, Visual Studio etc)
So the question is which is the best for web development: Visual Studio, Jdeveloper, Apex, Dreamweaver, NetBeans, IntelliJ, Eclipse etc???

Dreamweaver is for the view part only, as in the (X)HTML and CSS stuff. You aren't going to do Java development using Dreamweaver.
There is no definitive answer to your question as you are basically asking this: what are my personal preferences? Nobody can answer that, only you. So there is nothing you can do but download everything you want to try and actually do that: try it out. See what feels good and what doesn't. Only then will you be able to make a choice.
All I can give you at this point in time is MY personal preferences, which do not have to be the same as yours at all. I use Eclipse for full blown JavaEE development because there are a few plugins available for Eclipse that are not available for Netbeans that I really like and use to good effects (mostly related to JBoss). For everything else however, which includes Swing development, game development and plain Java web development I use Netbeans because to me it is a more "polished" product where things such as Subversion and Maven integration just work without conflicts.

Best Eclipse for Web development

I am going to download Eclipse and was wondering which one is the best for Web development on Tomcat?
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers // I assume this is best for web development?
Eclipse Classic 3.3.1.1

hi,
Not only Eclipse,
Netbeans,
IntellijIdea is also there, but it comes under licence,
so what you feel is better, use that IDE..

Best laptop for ADF development?

Hi all,
The next week I want to buy a new laptop for adf development and the question is What are the optimal requirements to run jdev and deploy big apps to the integrated weblogic without lost my hair.
I know this is a well commented issue in this forum but the tecnology change quickly.
Jhon

Based on my experience, I can post below comments:
I used Windows7 with 4GB Ram and I5 processor (32 bit) in previous project and I started loving mac so I am using Mac (Mountain Lion 10.8.3 version, I7 processor with 8GB Ram) now for my current project but somehow I notice my mac machine hangs a lot though it is of higher configuration and also still has some jdeveloper issues like (some time my BC tester fails i.e. testing model from AM) fails adhoc basis. However all these comments are applicable only for my machines and I may be wrong as well. Just thought of sharing my experiences with Windows/Mac.
Another point, if you want to develop any ADF Desktop Integrator applications, only windows OS supports and MAC has not support for it.

Ravi Nuka.

Best practice for team development

Hi,
We have a team of Java developers working on different parts of a J2EE application deployed on a NetWeaver server. Everyone needs to debug the application from time to time. How to configure the server for each developer to have ability to connect via remote debug? Run several instances with different ports? Run local environments with shared database? Any there any other options?
Thanks,
Victor.

Use NWDS for this please.
ALl can activate and use it simultanneously and can share in the common repository and reuse if needed

Certification for NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.0

Hi
Are there J2EE migration toolkits certified for use as part of NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.0 ?
Rephrased another way, is there a way to use NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.0 to migrate J2EE 1.3 applications to higher versions of J2EE ?
Hong Hua

Hello Jon,
I agree, but 2 GB RAM is sufficient to run the NWDS efficiently, consider the following points to increase its performance.
1. Tweak your eclipse.ini : This will increase the memory usage of Eclipse, but will give you the best startup and working performance. If you think eclipse is using up too much memory, lower the Xms, Xmx and PermSize values.
-startupplugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar--launcher.XXMaxPermSize256m-vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+AggressiveOpts-XX:+StringCache-XX:+UseFastAccessorMethods-XX:+UseLargePages-XX:LargePageSizeInBytes=4m-XX:AllocatePrefetchLines=1-XX:AllocatePrefetchStyle=1-Dide.gc=true
2. Disable the un-necessary startup plugins
It loads up certain (un-necessary) plugins at startup. We can tweak this a bit to improve the startup performance.
Go to Window > Preferences
Expand General and select Startup and Shutdown
On the right side, uncheck the plugins you don't want to start. Usually, you can uncheck all of them. Don't worry, it just makes the startup minimal. Once you need to access the module in the IDE, it will start it up.
Click OK and restart IDE.
