Haroldo,
I think Sun keeps this close to their chests. I seem to remember reading somewhere that Sun does not release this info.

Here is my guess :

around 5% of all java programmers are certified at the programmer level.

about 40% of these programmer are developers ( either java 2 developers / web component / business component ) .

case 1 )of the developers about 20 % are scea .

case 2) of the Sun Certified programmers who directly jumped to scea 5%

case 3 ) Directly SCEA without any other sun cert , my guess is only 5% of all SCEAs belong to this group . Yet to meet some one like that


So case 1 + case 2 represents 95% .


So if there are 2 million serious java developers .

My guess is at best 27K . And this is a high end estimate , actual numbers might be lower.

Please take pot shots at my ratios , rather than the number above , so that when the number of java programmers are released by other organizations we can recalculate these numbers .

bye
