Hi,
I want to re-activate this
thread once I'm with the same doubt because of the new requirements / market and even because I've seen a lot of people that somehow dislikes the certification carreer program.
Sometime a go, I was discussing with some colleagues in a discussion list of a JUG that I'm part of, some of them showed some kind of repulsion of the certifications, the certifieds and the certification program. They argued that certifications is just a matter to memorize the answers of the simulate tests and do it, and I've seen others that have used arguments like "spenting time doing it is a waste of time".
I have
SCJP and SCWCD, I'm planning to take until the end of this years the EJB and the JPA certifications, but it have decreased my willing to do it.
So! I want to know of you, software architects, software engineers, software developers and managers that are part of the community what you think about it. If nowadays that's a good path to follow or won't.
And if there is some of you that already have the
SCEA / OCMJEA, it worth the effort? What benefits have you seen after do it?
Thank you guys!
