Since its inception in 1995, Java technology has grown in popularity and usage because of its true portability and so has the esteemed Sun Certification. The Java platform allows you to run the same application on different operating systems.
Sun certifications are well recognized among the developers' community. Sun has a range of certifications starting from the entry level Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP) to high level certifications like Sun Certified Enterprise Architect (SCEA). The new Sun Certified Web Component Developer title is one of the hottest emerging certifications in the industry (it barely missed making CertCities's list of the 10 Hottest certifications for 2003). Perhaps one of the reasons why Sun certifications are so popular is that the exams are generally viewed as fairly challenging. And the basic fact that the SCJD requires the unique combination of a Programming Assignment and Essay Exam, which in itself can cause difficulty for candidates unfamiliar with the formats.

When should you think of Java certification?
|
|
Learning a technology and working on a technology complements each other. Learning a technology gives you the overview of how things need to be done. And working on a technology helps you understand the in-depth details of getting work done using that technology. Most of the times when you are working on a project you cover certain specific areas of technology required in that project.
Java has evolved from a language to develop platform independent client application to an architecture for developing n-tier enterprise application. It is important that you keep yourself updated with all the changes so that you are not left behind with obsolete systems. Taking certifications and update exams is a structured way of updating yourself with the technology. Therefore you should think of JAVA certification from the day you decide to work on it to the day you want to keep working on it.
