Certified Java Programmer

Hi everyone,
I know this question may not fit into this category,
but I did not know where else to put it.
I've been looking through the certificates you can get
from Sun. My question is:
1. Is it worth it? Would an employer value a
certificate more than, equally or less than a degree
from a university (specifically KTH,
Stockholm/Sweden)?In my opinion, the certification worth something, but not, at any rate, an university degree. Hey, you're comparing a little 90 minutes or so test with a 3+ years degree!
>
2. How hard are these tests? I've been programming for
about 3 years, but have no programming-education (I'm
not that old either). The courses seem quite
expensive, at least over here.
The exam is hard, but not too much if you study a bit and make sure your master all the objectives.
3. Is it possible to find any sample questions?
There's a lot af them on the net. Search google for cram questions java or mock question. You can also search for the site java ranch.
Thanks on advance,
Nille

How can I get a certified java programmer ???

Hello to all Java Programmer out there!!
Can somebody tell my what I must do to get a certified java programmer?
You can send me an email to the adress [email protected]
Thank you!

Wow, 5 responses, only one of them valid! Then again, a statement like that begs to be picked on! Anyway, another good site would be www.jchq.net. Lots of good resources, but I also suggest going to B&N (or some other big book-seller), and get a certification book. My general rule of thumb is, the bigger the book, the better. That's not always true, but it's good to go on. I'm picking one up this weekend, hopefully. Study, study, study!!!

Verify A Contractor Is A Sun-Certified Java Programmer

Hi,
Is there any place on the Sun website -- or any other way -- that I can verify that someone is in fact a Sun-Certified Java Programmer?
Thanks,
hotquietday

Professional student, indeed. 2/3 of the people I work with have the cert - one of them is my manager (he used to push bytes, so that's not as odd as it may seem). Did their performance increase after studying for it? You betcha - because before the studying they were just using Java, not "grokking" it.
On the other hand, I've interviewed candidates with the usual alphabet - and they could not write a single line of code on a whiteboard because it wasn't an IDE! They could parrot, from the books, exactly what the GC does, but did not understand it.
The solution to the OP's question is - take it at face value. But you must also certify, for your own self, that the person does know what they're doing. If they can prove that they are capable, then the cert is probably "worth" something. If not... <shrug>

For becoming a Sun Microsystems certified java programmer...

Is that enough reading this book:"The Complete Java Certification Succes Guide" without having a cours from Sun?
i'm not a programmer from beginner level. and which one is better for you: becoming a PROGRAMMER or a DEVELLOPPER?? what is the difference ebtween these choice?
Thanks,

You can pass the Programmer exam without a course. Read books and take as many mock exams as you can (start with www.javaranch.com) until you feel you have mastered the material.
Programmer certification comes first - you cannot take the Developer cert without passing the Programmer first.
The Programmer cert is an exam only and focuses on Java syntax - you learn to be a "human compiler".
Developer cert is an assignment and a follow-up exam. It takes a significant amount of work and you need to show competency in design, coding, networking, Swing, and file i/o.
The Web Component Developer cert is exam only and requires knowledge of Servlets and JSPs.

OCA Java Programmer & OCP Java Prgrammer

Hi,
I saw in Oracle site that is is mandatory to get OCA(Associate) Java Programmer before the OCP(Professionnal) Java Prgrammer. but one of my friends is going to pass the OCP Java Prgrammer exam directly without going through the OCA.
Please i want to know if there is a possibility to get the OCP directly, for example for SE6 or SE7.
regards.

You friend can certainly take the exam *1Z0-804 Java SE 7 Programmer II* without having first taken *1Z0-803 Java SE 7 Programmer I*
He will find at that point that Oracle won't give him a certification until he goes back and passes the 1Z0-803 exam. There is a difference between passing an exam and becoming certified. To pass an exam, you schedule it at Pearson-VUE and answer enough questions correctly. Pearson will be happy to allow you to take any exam that you are willing to pay for.
To gain a certification, you have to complete all of the guidelines laid out on the Oracle Education website.

In that case you should already know the answer to your stated question...

Can't hurt, probably won't help either.
please tell me if it would be good for me if i do an
SCJP course
Formal training never hurts.

Taking control back while calling stored procedure using java programme

I have stored procedure to load data. This procedure is invoked by java program.
The stored procedure take around 10 to 15 minutes to do complete loading of database. I want to write stored procedure when it starts loading of database at the same return the control to calling java programme so that java program can do other operation i.e. java program can not wait for control back from stored procedure.
In short stored procedure runs in background and return control back to java program when stored procedure is invoked. Is it possible then How we can achieve this.

U can acheive this using Java Threads. Create a thread submit this loading job. Once you submit the thread, you will get the control back to do other stuff.

Problem in executing Linux command from Java Programme.

hi everybody,
can anybody help me to solve one problem i have.
i want to capture the output of linux command "grep" in my java programme.but it is not working properly .(maybe this sub-process doesn't have permission to read files)
here is my code and corresponding outputs.
import java.io.*;
public class BSearch
public static void main(String kj[])
try
Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
String command="grep \"hello\" -r /usr/MyDir ";
Process rtProc=rt.exec(command);
InputStream is=rtProc.getInputStream();
BufferedReader br =new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
String line =null;
while((line=br.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(br.readLine());
br.close();
catch(Exception e)
System.err.println("Error in command "+e);
it finds "hello" pattern only in BSearch.class file although if i fire this command on LINUX prompt it
shows all the files in /usr/MyDir which contain "hello" pattern.
java programme output :
Binary file /usr/MyDir/BSearch.class matches.
linux command output :
/usr/MyDir/one.txt: hello sdfs
Binary file /usr/MyDir/BSearch.class matches.
/usr/MyDir/two.txt: kjsdf hello sdfsdf
will anybody help me solve this problem.

Requirements to become an Oracle certified Java application

Hi everyone,
I want to know any information on how to become an Oracle certified Java application for the company I work for.
Technologies involved are Java and Eclipse.
any information or contact you can provide will be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Sebastian

My suggestion is:
Consider First:
1) The exam 1z0-051 which should demonstrate your SQL skills.
2) The exam 1z0-047 which should earn an SQL Certified Expert Certificate.
Beyond that you will need to become more familiar with PL/SQL and go towards a PL/SQL developer OCA then OCP
I believe the following thread is relevant 1Z0-146
Read the blogs/FAW at the top of the forum, and become familair with the oracle education certification pages.
You may also seek out some the the '2-day' training as well.
Hoep this helps.
