They will look good on a resume, but I don't think that they're anything career-shaping. I've never seen a job requirement "must be certified in Java". |
I could look this up. But it will be good to have this information here. What is the difference between J2SE and J2EE?
Also, the certification seems to be called SCJP. Is that the same for both J2SE and J2EE.
In the world of Microsoft (sorry, I mean
microsoft, my mistake, bad habit) they have certifications for MSCD that you can study and I think take a test for on brainbench as well as on dice.com. But eventhough I have seen some indication that the world is moving to Java, I do not see Java tests and certifications out there as much. Is the only place to take the certification tests is on sun's website?
