Hi there! I just passed my Programmer exam yesterday and am already thinking about my next step.
The question is, should that be the web component exam or the developer exam. Specifically what is more "marketable"?
I had one person tell me that web components and all things j2ee are where it's at in the market and being able to demonstrate your knowledge with that is important, but I've had another person tell me that the developer exam says more about you because it's more substantial an inquiry into your skills as a programmer since the web component exam is just a mulitple choice exam and employers want evidence of being able to think through a project than being able to pass a quiz.
Any thoughts?
-Andreas

See my response in the SCWCD Forum, and do a search on your same question. You will find a lot of people had the same question, and you can get some good insights on other people's opinions.
