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

  • Java Certification Doubt

    Hi,
    I want to do a java certification SCJP, but I read online the exam is called OCPJP now. I have purchased a book 'SCJP Sun Certified Programmer for Java 6 Exam 310-065' for it. I want to know if SCJP and OCPJP mean the same so that the book I mentioned here is suitable to prepare for OCPJP. Kindly help.
    Thanks.

    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!)

  • Java certification on platform 1.4

    are there any books available to study for the SUN CERTIFIED PROGRAMMER FOR THE JAVA 2 PLATFORM 1.4.
    Exam number: CX-310-035.

    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 exam

    I've been using Sun's Java Certification practice exam (WGS-PREX-J025B / http://suned.sun.com/US/certification/java/java_progj2se.html) and I'm wondering how similar the practice questions are to the actual exam.
    I also downloaded the freebie version of JCertify (http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/sightings/S3.html) which seems more detailed and difficult than the above.
    Any comments comparing these two practice exams to each other, or to the actual certification exam, will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    as you surely know, nobody who actually did the exam can answer those questions because of an confidential statement you have to sign for taking the exam, BUT
    for the programmer's exam I learned with the book "Complete Java 2 Certification Study Guide", ISBN 0-7821-2825-4, did the sample questions in the book and the attched CD and... I took it successfully!
    Good luck!

  • Hands on requirement for java certification

    which java certifications do exactly have an hands on requirement?
    because if i look here
    http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=320
    it says i just need to take the exam to become certified. other certifications have assignments and more exam but nowhere is an hands-on requirement listed (that i could find)
    however if i look here http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/show_desc.redirect?dc=D61748GC10
    it says "This course counts towards the Hands-on course requirement for the Java SE 6 Developer Certification. Only instructor-led inclass or instructor-led online formats of this course will meet the Certification Hands-on Requirement. Self Study CD-Rom and Knowledge Center courses DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requirement."
    So my question is where exactly can i find which certification has which hands-on requirement. i wouldn't want to start on the self-study (or a non-official course) just to find out that i need the real course to get my certification.
    Edited by: 881933 on Aug 27, 2011 8:23 PM

    Without looking at specifics .... i am not massively up to speed with the Java certifictions, one key point is the the hands on requirement is about to change.
    The latest blog announcement on this may be found helpful: http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/entry/0588
    and: http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=449
    Some pages cannot be updated until 30th december passes.
    Oracle University Courses and LVC courses are appropriate for certification: (CDROMs purchases online though are not):
