java ranch can help me with my newbie questions, they might sound a bit stupid but I'd really appreciate your help
I just graduated with a MS in Computer Science and trying to step back again into the Job market.I have about 2 yrs client side Java development experince-I did this till 2001 Dec. I am knowledgeable in server side development, through a few academic projects.
During my studies I did work on some application development but with all different technologies mostly ASP,C,C++, Visual Studio etc.So the problem is that I do not have solid experience in anything. Since I am interested to pursue my career as a server side java programmer, I am planning to learn Websphere and go from there.I passed
SCJP yesterday to get me started and I am planning to take Websphere Certification by Sept.
Would anyone please guide me which version of web sphere should I download to start studying and also developing small applications. Also give me some light on how long on an average it would take to learn it, considering that I am a fast learner and also my knowledge on server side Java is not that great.I there any free tutorial that I can download which can help me through the basics. Also any where Ican find small project specs which I can develop to learn...
If my plan is to be proficient in server side programming... what all
servlets,
EJB,
JSP etc in which order should I study, and how proficient I need to be before stepping into Websphere.Will it be advisible to first learn for a J2EE certification and then go for Websphere ? Please help...
Thanks in advance...
