Hi,

I cleared IBM 000-664 (IBM Certified SOA Associate) with 100%.

Being hands on exp, through in OOPs concepts and experiance as a Technical Architect, this exam i found a little tough but yes never expected a score of 100%

Those who are interested to get to know about SOA could start with following initial stuff-

1. SOA for dummies by Judith Hurwitz, Robin Bloor, Carol and Marcia Kaufman
2. SOA Using JAVA Web Services by Mark Hansen
3. Understanding Enterprise Soa (2007) by Eric Pilier and Hugh Taylor

I will welcome all your queries in this regard. Just drop me a mail... ganesh underscore gosavi AT yahoo DOT com.

Hi, Today I cleared IBM 000-486 with 98.21%. Just missed 100% becoz of one question :( This exam is going to retire soon and hence its better to take this exam at least to mark our experiance/knowledge of OOAD by clearing this exam. IBM's this exam is based on all practical scenarios and not on theoretical questions. Following two books are sufficient to clear this exam with good score 1) Addison-Wesley - UML Distilled, 3rd Ed [Scan, OCR, Fowler] - 2003 !!! - (By Laxxuss) 2) Applying UML and Patterns - An Introduction To Object Oriented Analysis and Design and the Unified Process, 2Ed - Prentice Hal If u wanna get to know more info abt this exam, can visit to - <a href="http://forums.objectsbydesign.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=5" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.objectsbydesign.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=5</a> If u have any queries in this regard.
