Java Certification Tips Anyone ??

Hi there,
I am learning java and plan to give the exam for Sun certified java programmer. If any of you have already done this I would like some tips towards preparing for the exam.
I am planning to buy the book on java certification by Roberts, Heller & Ernest. Is this a good enough reference or do I need something more.
Also I would like to know whether certification really helps in the job market, before you have completed your graduation. I raside in India and am doing a Bachelors degree in Computer Applications.
I recently heard some people say that java is becoming obsolete. Is this true, and what are its implications for yhose who get a java certificaion.
Thanks for any help in advance

Personally I think that the Sun certification program is one of the few certs in the market that actually still holds some value to it. The lack of "boot camp" type training programs has helped this out a whole lot. Unlike other certifications, having the sun certs should give you a slight edge in the market... whereas certs like MCSE, MCSD, etc don't count much for you if you have 'em, but if you don't it looks bad.
Anyway... reading books is good. Read them through a couple of times. While the exams aren't extremely expensive, just make sure you take the time to know everything before you even attempt it once. If there's something you don't quite understand, go online and research as much as you can until you do. There's tons and tons of information out there freely available... take advantage of it.

Hey All,
I'm planning on starting to study for the Java Certification, although as always there seems to be as many book/study guides out there that there is testing centers!!!
I book that seems to be defacto at the moment is : SCJP Sun Certified Programmer for Java 5 Study Guide (Certification Press Study Guides)
by Katherine Sierra, Bert Bates
BUT if anyone has any other suggestions on better books study guides please feel free to share.
Thanks.

Java Certification Test 310-025????

I am trying to take test 310-025. The testing facility referred me to this site in order to purchase a voucher to take the test. Unfortunately no such voucher exists, that I can find, I am just wondering if anyone knows the url where I can get this so called voucher. Helllllp!!!!!
Thanks

Hi all,
I have recently purchased a java certification voucher against cash payment, but the centre from where I had purchased it didn't gave me any receipt for that. Now I am wondering if this is ok or I may face some problem afterwards when I go to the prometric center for getting registered.
I am absolute novice so please tell me what should I do? Also suggest me which certification should i opt for : the scjp for java 2 platform or the scjp for java 2 platform(v1.4).
Thanks in advance,

Java Certification Test

I took the programmers test today and failed. Anybody else have this happen to them. Anyway, I knew I wasn't ready but some of those questions seemed to come out of left field from some of the sources I was studying. I used a book (sybex java certification)http://www.ravenholm.fi/tuotteet/11_2_42_14992.htm to study most of the time and I went to www.javacertificate.com and actually passed on the exams there, I got 100% on garbage collection at www.javacertificate.com but when I took the actual test I got ZERO it was like none of the questions I had been studying were there.
Obviously I'm not there yet to pass the test. Any feedback on this test or the sources I studied -from people that have taken it? If anyone can think of better books to study please list them.

You have read a wrong book !!!
The book is about Exam 310-080, Sun Certified Web Component Developer for J2EE Platform
This is unbelievable !
it was like none of the questions I
had been studying were there.
yes, of course :-) The fist nine chapters were the basic exam. When I first saw the book I though wow "sun java programmer certification" so I bought it and studied it. 9 chapters - io and awt

Sun Java Certification

Hi All,
I'm planning to do Sun Java Certified Architect certification. Currently I'm working as Java Developer.
Do i need to complete the SJCP (Sun Java Certified Programmer) then proceed to Architect ? Can i do the architect certification Directly? What is the eligibility ?
Can anybody please give me the web-sites where i can get Sample Questions, Tutorials, Articles, Document for Java Certification?
Thanks,
J.Kathir

Hello J.Kathir
I just joined this forum and this is a my first post. The best site that i ever found is a certpaper dot com. You will find many practice test, study guide, new questions and answers and study tips. This site allow you to download pdf books and other exam related study material. This is not a dumps providing site but a site that guides you about the IT certifications.

Java certification

Hai all. I have just finished sitting for my certification exam and passed with high marks. I have one study guide that I wrote myself for the exam. I can give to you if you need it.
bye.

I think certifications are good things. There might even be a good debate about whether programming should try to become a more "professional" profession and only allow trained, certified practitioners, but that's another thread.
Having obtained a couple of Java certifications, they're like most degrees and courses. Once you have them, nobody much cares about what grades you got or how many of them you have. They base their impressions on one fundamental question: "Can you do this for me RIGHT NOW?" If you can, you're smart. If you can't, you've either got to learn quickly or fail. All the degrees and certifications in the world only help to the extent to which they equip you to learn new things.
I like knowing things at the bottom if I can, so I went back and took fundamental computer science courses at the start of my programming career. I didn't want to be a "learn VB in 21 days" kind of software guy. I wanted to know about algorithms and data structures and finte automata and decomposition and relational databases. I wanted to minimize the chances that I'd be scorned for not knowing the basics. I still read technical material as widely as I can.
I think that's been more important than my Java certifications. - MOD

Thanks.0) The exam will be very substantially unchanged AFAIK.
1) Compare the topics in your book compared to topics on the exam webpage. If you see any differences ... then you may need to do a little more research. Its quite normal for for exams to get an update from time to time, and often books can be less than up to date.
2) This thread covers the typical sort of detail changes to expect.
3) Does the book have a website where updates/errata are known? Look there.
4) There may be a couple note either in blogs.oracle.com/certification especially wrt the prometric to peason vue transition or the oracle to sun transition. I have other things to do in my life to search for this, espeically when the train i was to catch train decided to expire itself in a tunnel. This is probably a java software fault.

Java certification & oracle database administrator certification

Hello,
On this page i can see all certification paths. But when i logged into my account, on pearsonvue.com, i issued 'Schedule an exam'. But there i can't find any java certification or oracle database administration certifications. So where can i find all the certifications for scheduling, shown on that page?
Thanks

Thanks1) You need to drill down from that link to find individual exams ... eg 1z0-051, 1z0-052, etc ... for instance via:
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=198&p_org_id=&lang=
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_052
2) You may need to register on Pearson VUE particularly for Oracle.
(Prometric works much on on a one registration does all, Pearson VUe requires registration for each vendor, in general as far as I remember). But I was able to use my LPIC registered Pearson VUE for Oracle
To begin with ensure you go via http://www.pearsonvue.com/oracle/
3) Java exams, having come from Sun stewardship, are currently via Prometric.
See the Sun Transition FAQ (which is now VERY hard to locate unless you know what you are looking for!)
