I am an 8+ years experienced developer having no professional certifications. I have 3 experience in developing in Spring framework, JPA and REST. I was looking for
Java based certification when I considered myself of having a certified.
I found two path
1. REDHAT (Redhat Certified Enterprise Application Developer)
2. Oracle Java certifications
I have a confusion to choose which path to go and which exam to start from. Major factors that confuses me are
* Exam Price
* Market Value
* Availability of exam guide
* Availability of practice exam
* Availability of any free materials
* Future expansions
I found there are many certified developers available in this forum. Please consider helping me make a good decision.
