Hi Ulf
Sun selected 200 participants for the initial beta
testing of this new certification exam, which were held from 21 July - 31 july 2009. Sun delayed the final beta testing for later this year.
Sun sent the following email to all the particpants who registered for the beta exam:
Thank you for your interest in the Sun Java Programmer Plus Certification Sun's first performance based Java Certification exam.
We wanted to inform you that the full beta for the new Sun Java Programmer Plus Certification has been delayed to later in this year based on the results from initial beta testing and to align more closely with the upcoming release of JDK 7. We will get back in touch with you as soon as we have revised dates for the full beta test. If you have any questions or feedback, please send a message to sunlearninglink@sun.com
Based on this, I hope Sun should be out with the final beta exam by December and the exam by Mar-Apr next year!
My initial question: Was any of the Java ranchers selected as an initial beta tester on this exam and can comment on the format/ type of questions?
cheers
Lewis
