Thanks!

Does sun certified programmer really matter?

Hi,all. i am a first year uni student in Australia, currently doing B.Comp.Sci. i am just wondering how the importance would be while seeking for programmer job, if i'm a sun certified programmer. i just couldnt really make up my mind whether to spending time on passing the certified programmer test or i'd better put my efforts on improving my programming skill and extending all sorts of computing knowledges. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

'A few' meaning some, not all. I do know a guy who
just got his certification purely to get his foot in
the door of a company, who was very very good. My
arguement is that the exam does not indicate a
excellent programmer. As you for discouraging someone
from finishing University, where did that come from?
or are you simply plaing devils advocate?Ok, I was unnecessarily harsh. I've seen a lot of postings in this forum knocking the Certification process and discouraging people from following it. These seem to be posted by people who have not been through the exams and are commenting based on either a limited sample or a perception about certifications in general.
I have been through the process, with Java & other technologies, and also believe that in the main it is pointless. However, I think that I'm commenting with some authority having actually seen the questions asked and undergone the 'learning-experience' of the process.
The point about the degree was that when I first came into IT, as a fresh-faced graduate, it was still relatively uncommon for developers to have a degree of any sorts, let alone in a related subject. Most had learnt 'on-the-job'. They would take every opportunity to make the point that they'd met 'Grads' before & that they'd always turned out to be crap.
POINT: I've met certified programmers that are crap. Not all certified programmers are crap. I've met graduates who couldn't find their arse with both hands. Not all graduates are muppets.
CONFESSION: I think that I may be subconciously looking for a fight today. Must locate the Lithium soon.

Even the resources here is very good. They are also rated by users.

yes, that's the only decent book covering most of the exam curiculum (but NOT all of it, check the exam specs versus the book content to know what you are missing).
I'm working on the same material, and boy is it a lot...
Dry, boring stuff most of it.

Hi Muasif,
The following is just my personal opinion regarding your question. Other people can have other opinions.
1. Does Sun employs Java Certified Professionals, if
yes what are the procedures?I am not a Sun employee, however I do not believe Sun only employees Java Programmers, or Certified Professionals. Certification is very important however, it shows to your potential employer what you can do. However you must also put in the mix your attitude towards work, and how good you work in a team. It is a good think that you aim to work directly with Sun (From what I understand) however I believe that could be hard.
2. Does any know particular job sites or particular
job companies hiring Java Certified Professionals.
3. I am Sun Certified Java Programmer 5, I seek job
in USA. Can anyone tell me about job sources in the
USA where I can apply and get job. Currently I am not
in USA.Basically you should not be searching for companies hiring Java Certified Professionals, but only for companies searching for Java Programmers. I know in the UK there is a site called monster.com that specializes in finding jobs for people. In the US I never worked and thus I do not know. What I would sugest is to first see where you would like to go in the US. Remeber that over there you will do more then Just Work! after see what job opportunities are there in that area.
Again I am sorry if my post does not satidfy you. I wish you all the luck to find work in the US :) Remember Europe is not such an ugly place either :)

Yearning for Sun Certified Java 2 Programmer

Hello all Java ppl out there.
I have been programming in Java for about 3 years now. A few months back I sat for this exam but failed by 2 points. Hence I was very disheartened and told myself not to get myself certified again. Recently I've been thinking about this certification and was thinking if I should re-sit again because I would very much want to be certified. Its a kind of achievement in my life. But how do you think I can improve my programming skills? The way the exam test is like I have to think like the Java interpreter!!!! Most of the time I rely on the compiler to tell me my mistakes!!!!
Those who sat for the exam, can you tell me how I can improve or what good materials I can read? I'm more of a hands-on kind of person and is weakest in I/O operations and GUI.

It gives you a quite good understanding about the java language. Even though you have years of experience, you would still learn something new by reading that book, unless you have really studied the Java Language Specification.
It's not something you would normally think about because you just let the compiler check if your code can compile, and then you test your program to see if it works as expected. A lot of the questions are like that as you have already seen. :)

Sun Certified Associate vs Sun Certified Programmer question

I took the practice tests, which I admit might not mean much, but I easily passed the SCJA practice test and failed the SCJP practice test.
I'm admittedly new to Java so I didn't expect to pass either to be honest but it does have me wondering what is the point of the SCJA certification?
It just strikes me as it would be a piece of cake to pass and as a result might not mean much job-wise while at the same time it's cost is close enough to the SCJP to completely ignore it or am I missing the point of the SCJA cert?

I think that jwenting didn't get the idea behind SCJA exam...
SCJP is a technical certification. It is meant for programmer. People who spend their days at work coding solutions that has been hand out by their managers/analysts.
SCJA aims to give Business analysts(BA) and projects managers(PM) an overview on Java technology. Yet we are in the year 2007, but there are still many companies that have not switch to OO applications. In order to convince your customer the use of a technology, you must know the basic of "how it works?"
BA does not need to know all the detail about the size of "int", how to write a java class, or what is a .jar file. But when they talk to their customer, they have to show the customer how java technology will benefit them...
You must keep in mind that BAs and PMs are people who represent your company in front of the customers. If they can't ensure the customers that your company know what Java technology has to offer, the customer won't buy your solutions.
One more thing that you have to keep in mind, BAs and PMs don't always have programming background. Most of them have management skills and master the business they are working for. They spend more time getting update on solutions instead of geek-ing with how to code in a specific language. This being said, SCJA could be a pretty hard exam for them.
Just think of yourself passing a Finance specific exam, versus your BA who master the financing aspects...
Bottom line,
How useful SCJA is for programer/developper? the answer is not much... an exam to rip your money
How useful SCJA is for BAs and PMs? I can tell you that it is very useful! why would BAs/PMs care about the visibility of a variable?
Hope this help your understanding on SCJA vs SCJP

Missing assignment objectives for Sun Certified Java CAPS Integrator

Hi everyone
I'm going to propose myself to take the exam for this certification, but the page that describes it does not provide any details about the objectives. The page I'm talking about is located at http://www.sun.com/training/catalog/courses/CX-310-502.xml . Can someone give me a hint which are the details ?
Best regards,
Samuel

He quoted the Javadoc which says you have to have the source code available for the Javadoc you are trying to inherit. All I am doing here is restating that, which really is pointless and valueless.It needs the source so that it can copy the documentation you want to copy, which I would have thought was obvious in the first place >
ejp, there is no need to be such an arrogant jerk responding. It is not my fault if you are having a bad day.
I wrote above:
TableModel interface is in javax.swing.table. It is not part of my source code.I am only asking for help and I thought that was the purpose of this forum.
I am not here to get a smart ass response with such an arrogance and attitude.

About Sun Certified Programmer & Developer

I am a computer science student gonna graduate very soon,I am think about to take the SCJP and SCJD exam, are these certifications persuasive in software industry for companies?can this help to get a better job easier?

OT: In the US do you need some qualification to call yourself an (Software) Engineer.Depends on the company that you work for. Some companies wouldn't call you an Engineer if you didn't have an Engineering degree. Some would, if that is your role.
For Software Engineering, you don't need a Professional Engineer (PE) license (don't even know if there is one for Software yet). For Civil Engineering, you don't always need a PE license, but it really helps for you to get one eventually, if you hope to get contracts.
