Hi Everyone,
I looked up the XML Certification FAQs and it says there that there are no requirements before taking the test,
but one of my colleagues thinks that it is better to master a particular programming language first before going into XML.
I was thinking of getting certified in XML before choosing the language to use it with (of course I'm leaning more towards Java), but now I'm not so sure.
I'd really like to hear your comments on this.
Thanks!

I'm sure I'll be thinking of getting certified in Java . But what I can't decide on is which should come first: XML or Java certification. Hmmm... decisions, decisions

Hi Alvin-
SCJP2 is the obvious first choice. The object oriented approach to thinking about solving problems will come in handy in XML. This should be a very simple decision for you. All the best.
