Hi,
I am in and out
Java Ptrogrammer.
I am in Software industry for round about 5 years.
I started with Web Desgining in HTML, Java Scripts and CSS.
After that I joined a Multinational Company and got into SAP ABAP Team.
I worked in 2 ABAP Projects and then moved to Production Support in Dec 06.
I cleared
SCJP 5.0 in Sep 06. At that time my core Java Skills were very good.
But then in Production Support, I worked in HR Application Support. I supprted
4 applications, the main Application was based on Java Swing.
Even if the application were based in Java Swing,
Servlets,
JSP etc, we didnot need to do
any coding in Java Side. Our work was in the backend. We has to retrieve data from back-end tables
usually through Select queries (Joins) and sometimes we need to write Store Procedures involving
updation of data. Our work also involved writting Shell Scripting. The Database used was Oracle/Sybase.
My project tenure ended in Sep 2007. I then was assigned with
Unit Testing (
JUnit and
Ant) for 6 months
and then QTP Automated Testing Project. After that, I was assigned to SAP NetWeaver Team in SAP Master Data Management. I worked in SAP MDM 5.5 for 6 months August 2008 to Jan 2009 and also appeared in SAP MDM 5.5 Certification in Nov 08. I got 53% and the pass percentage is 55%. Now, I am in Java Project involving
EJB 2.0, Java Web Dynpro and Oracle Database. It is an Event Management System. It also involves DAO Design
Pattern.
Now, I am involved in Testing the full application. I need to switch back to Java based development.
What should be the approach? Should I clear SCBCB right now or go for SCJP 6.0?
Or I will again give SCJP 5.0?
I need to built a Java Skill set. It is told that you can't learn if you are not in projects. But it is not true with Java J2EE. You can learn it from Net as many free lancing sites are there. Please advice.

Tanka
