Java2 Certification

I am thinking of sitting the Java 2 Programmer Certification, but I'm not sure which one of the 2 available exams to select:
* Sun Certified Programmer for the Java 2 Platform 1.4 (CX-310-035)
* Sun Certified Programmer for the Java 2 Platform 1.2 (CX-310-025)
All GUI-related objectives have been removed from 1.4 and objectives for Assertions have also been added. I've been dabbling with mainly JDK 1.2.2 for the last months and so don't have any exposure yet to Assertions (added to new version of JDK?).
Which one of the 2 exams would be better to sit? Given my lack of exposure to new JDK (assertions added), I am reluctant to sit 1.4.

am reluctant to sit 1.4.You have to sit the 1.4. The only purpose of a certification is to show off, and you're not showing off if you didn't take the latest version.

  • Is this a valid syntax for main() function

    hi
    here is a very basic question...
    is this signature a valid entry point to an application..?
    public static int main(String[] arg)
    i compile it and it gives me no error but when i run it, it throws an exception in main...
    I am asking this question because one of the certification books has a question which says that this is a valid signature.
    please do let me know ur comments...
    thanks a lot.

    thanks for all the replies....
    it compiles and here is the run time error that i get
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
    also the book is Complete Java2 Certification study guide 2nd Ed Sybex
    chapter 1, page 26, question 3.
    which of the following sig. are valid for the main() method entry point of an application
    a> public static void main()
    b> public static void main(String arg[])
    c> public void main(String[] args)
    d> public static void main(String [] arg)
    e> public static int main(String [] arg)

  • Certified for J2EE (TM)

    Hello,
    Which driver is certified for J2EE(TM)? I can see on the Sun site that Oracle should have such driver but I can't find it.
    Volker

    SCJP = Sun Cert. Java Programmer???
    I can't compare it's level to other exams as I only did this one.
    But my opinion is: It's not difficult.
    I just went through the book "Complete Java2 Certification Study Guide" (only the JCP exam's chapters), made some of the test exams and took the real one without a problem.
    The exam's objectives cover all the basics of java. If you are working with it regularly, about 90% should be known to you. The other 10% are interesting news, or things, that you saw once, but are not really aware of.
    My advice: It's worth the effort!
    Good luck!
    Anja
    ps: by the way:
    if you watn to do any of the sun certificate exams, you have to start with this one anyway!!!

  • 100 % Pure Java Certification !!!

    I have a product developed in Java 2. The product is developed entirely in Java and is platform independent. I want to go in for the 100 % Pure Java Certification from Sun Microsystems. Can someone let me know how to go about getting this certification.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Hi, here is something that I have found very useful..
    http://cramsession.brainbuzz.com/cramsession/sun/java2
    Let me know if you need any more information..Hi Geetanjali,
    Well your site does not mention anything about product certification, it only talks about Sun Certification of Progammers. If you have any idea about product certification, please let me know asap.

  • Am I ready for Programmer Certification

    Hi, I've been studying for the Java2 Programmer Certification exam for about 1 month. I read Robert's book twice, yet when I took his practice exams on the cd for the book I only scored around 70% to 75%. Should I take the exam with this score on mock exams? Also, do employers check your exam score or do they just accept that you are certified?

    "When I was interviewing Java candidates, in all honesty, the only thing Java certification meant to me was that the guy did not have enough practical Java experience to be useful, and was trying to hide behind a test score."
    Well if the person you are interviewing has no prior(on the job) programming experience then obviously he does not not have enough practical Java experience to be useful, but i think he is not trying to hide behind a "test score".
    "If you are a pretty good Java developer already and you have come professional experience, I would actually discourage taking the test."
    Why would you say that? If you have held proir programming positions with past companies why would obtaining a certification be detrimental to a prospect of possibly being hired?
    Look at most of the people comming fresh out of collage with a computer science degree who had fortran and Pascal, and every other dead language under the sun. To me they are worthless. "Jack of all trades master of none"

  • New Certification blog and new magazine about certification

    Dear Oracle Certification addicts
    Please consult the following blog http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/
    I did really appreciate the To Certify or Not to Certify topic is it quite good.
    Especially that Note to Hiring Managers: Just as candidate should not stake their careers solely on certification, you should not hire someone just because they are certified. Certification is an important factor and should play a role in your hiring process, but you should also base your hiring decisions on experience, education/training and communication skills (among other things). Most importantly you should follow up carefully with the candidate’s references. By looking at the whole package and verifying the details with multiple references you will improve your chances of hiring the right candidate.
    And we have now also a dedicated magazine or new letter on the oracle certification
    Extract from the news letter:
    July has been a busy month in Oracle Certification, with several new exciting things to share! Among them, our new and long-awaited Oracle Certification Blog. We are looking forward to sharing ongoing updates and discussing relevant topics in this short and easy to read format. Let us know what you think!
    We’re also happy to share that we have quite a few certifications still available in beta for a significant discount. It’s not only your chance to be among the first to be certified, but allows you to participate in our development process by providing Oracle with valuable feedback.. And of course, we are ramping up for our annual Oracle blowout in San Francisco - Oracle OpenWorld 2008, coming up in September. We hope to see you there!
    Paul Sorensen | Director of Certification, Oracle
    Have good readings....

    My understand is Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Professional (OCP) certification is already available via 1z0-050 to those with 10g OCP; to be technically correct IMHO this would make it a new path to the certification rather than a new certification ;-)

  • Need advice about certification: do J2SE 1.4 or wait for 1.5 to go out?

    I need advice here! I am studing for Java Programmer certification (310-035) and I know now that the certification does not have any expiration date, instead it's version based. So, if I get now a J2SE 1.4 certification, soon it will be outdated... I guess!
    Does anyone know or have any ideia of WHEN java 1.5 sdk will be avaliable, and anyone can tell me how long it will take for a new 1.5 programmer certification be avaliable for general public?

    Do both. 1.5 is far enough away that you do not want to wait for it.
    And besides, 1.5 has enough new stuff in it that you'll want to recertify anyway.

  • Advanced certification in ABAP

    Hi All
    I am a ABAP programmer with 3 yrs of ABAP experience and currently working on EDI / IDOC technologies. I wanted to go for ABAP certification but I was advised by many not to do it as exam has got very simple ABAP questions, mainly on Basic ABAP
    I just wanted to know how true it is and is there any other certification for Advanced ABAPPERS ? ( Like Sun has for Java ).
    Are there any certification exams for ALE Idoc , BW programming.
    Amol

    Hi Amol,
    Your question amused me. I am also a certified ABAPer, having a rootless existance in SAP. I was working on Web technologies till last Aug and got Certified then and have been an ABAPer ever since. Unfortunately, there is no advanced certification program for ABAP but a certified ABAPer is always considered to have it all.
    You are right about the exam questions. It is all basic ABAP, but you see, high rises stand on great foundations. To learn advanced topics, may be you should approach SAPLABS at b'lore as you have over 3 yes of exp and that too on hot technologies like EDI/IDOC.
    I would suggest anyone to go for the certification, not to get their 2-3 lakhs spent, but for the face that you will be globally accessible being a certified ABAPer and will have great demand abroad and in India.
    Good luck.
    If you think this helped you, please reward me

  • ABAP Certification questions

    Hi,
    2 questions on ABAP certification:
    1)  Are there any courses that are MANDATORY prior to taking the certification exam?  In other words, could I take the exam without having taken any formal courses if I should choose to do so?
    2)  What is the cost in USD to take the exam?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Andrew,
    This question should be rather posted at [SAP Certified Professionals|SAP Certification;, but I htink moderators will move that for you.
    As for the questions:
    1) There is no mandatory course, only recommended ones. If you feel strong enough with basics you don't need to take any of these. What SAP suggests is to accomplish TAW10, TAW11, TAW12 courses (depending on cert.exam you want to take). Either ABAP Developer for SAP Netweaver 2004 or latest one ABAP Developer for SAP Netweaver 7.0. Both are mostly covered in mentioned courses. Second one just requires some WEB dynpro knowledge and Unicode. You don't have to attend any of them, just look for the meterials and get prepared with them. TAW10 and TAW12 can be easily found in net, TAW11 is hard to get, but still you can learn from other SAP materials covering same topics.
    2) I don't know the cost in US, in Poland it cost me around $650 for Associate exam.
    Check directly on http://www.sap.com/usa/services/education/certification/index.epx for pricing and further details.
    Good luck!
    Regards
