HI All
I cleared IBM Portal 399 exam today with 80% marks. I know this is not a great score, but I would take it because I did not have any experience in portal development/RAD etc. I spend 3 weeks preparing for this exam and around 2-3 hours daily.
Let me first thank
Java Ranch for helping me in clearing this exam and also Cameron Mckenzie. Cameron has put a great site for portal and his tutorials on portal concept are great. I would strongly suggest every one, who does not have RAD hands on experience, to go through his video tutorials and then take the mock tests.
My Exam preparation was based on following resources:
1.This
test is heavily based on JSR 168 specs. So understanding JSR 168 APIs are must.
2.Chapters (2,3,8,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,,19,20,26,30,31,33) in sg246681.pdf
3.RAD 6.0 info center. Just read the topic �Developing Portal applications�
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rtnlhelp/v6r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.rational.rad.books/icwelcome_product_rad.htm 4.Mock exams from Cameron�s website
That�s all from my side.
Good luck to all the aspirants for this exam
