Passed (385/400) 96~%

[Daniel Chevelle]

Hey all,

I passed my exam!

General Considerations (maximum = 100): 100
Documentation (maximum = 70): 70
O-O Design (maximum = 30): 30
GUI (maximum = 40): 25
Locking (maximum = 80): 80
Data store (maximum = 40): 40
Network server (maximum = 40): 40

All of my lost marks were in respect to the GUI. I don't really know why, i thought my GUI was good.

My GUI included:

Conservatively coloured alternating rows

Lost update detection

custom table model

asc/desc sorting on each column

rich error handling

a custom text field that accepted only numeric input as per the requirements

search results, search form and booking form on the same screen to aid power users

the ability to switch between modes at runtime

the ability to enable / disable the 48 hour rule

Only fault i have of my gui was that it didn't scale very well when re-sized and that i didn't document 1/2 of my decisions in my choices.txt.

still, its all good... very happy to have passed! what do i do now

cheers to Andrew and everyone who helped me out on this forum.

, nice score.
One questin about the GUI, it was easy to extend ?(you now the :

Your user interface should be designed with the expectation of future functionality enhancements, and it should establish a framework that will support this with minimal disruption to the users when this occurs.

)

Congrats..

I think they consider how you implement the search functionality. How the All/Exact search is accomodated in the GUI. I think I lost marks on that.

Thanks guys. Any tips on which cert to do next?

The telco i work for has its resources primarily invested into J2EE technologies such as EJB and Web Services. I'd like to try J2ME but i don't know if my time would be better invested into the above mentioned technology first.

Of course theres always the lure of .NET as well.
