My company is migrating to the Websphere platform from being a Microsoft shop. Don't be angry with me, the MS decision was made long before I joined the company (it was the decision to migrate that prompted the company to look for a "Java Guru" as the CEO calls me).
Although I have used WSAD and Eclipse in the past, I doubt I've even begun to utilize their strengths fully. My question regarding "Developing J2EE Applications with WebSphere Studio" (quite a mouthful so I'll call it DJAWS in the future) is would this book be considered a good starting point for learning the ins and outs of WSAD or is it tailored for someone who is experienced with the tool and who is just ramping up to take the test?
Also, do the IBM certifications lead to a title or are they just individual certifications (I.E., I can take the MS certs individually and be certified in that particular topic but if I take a certain combination of certs I can be an MCSE or MCSD).
On another note congratulations on your new book, I know how difficult it can be and how much follow through it takes to take on a task of this size! Maybe one day, I'll have the willpower to get published
