SYNOPSIS
Sun’s Certified Programmer for
the Java 2 Platform 1.4 is meant
for “programmers interested in
demonstrating proficiency in the
fundamentals of the Java
programming language using the
Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition
(J2SE technology).” This
certification can be a starting
point for more advanced
designations, such as the Sun
Certified Developer for the Java 2
Platform and the Sun Certified Web
Component Developer for the Java 2
Platform Enterprise Edition.
Also, this certification and
related exam qualifies for the
second level of the jCert
certification, the Java
Programmer.
The Sun Certified Programmer
for Java certification has been
around for a few years and was
updated in the fall of 2002 when
testing moved to focus on Java 2
Platform version 1.4 rather than
version 1.2. In terms of
recertification, Sun certification
exams taken after September 1,
2002 are “valid for two (2) years
from the date of certification.
Despite the two-year validity
date, Sun does not presently plan
to revoke certification titles
already held by a professional if
the validity date of a specific
certification has passed.“
This certification is well
suited to IT professionals who
have titles such as: web
developer, web programmer,
software developer and application
programmer.
To achieve the Sun’s Certified
Programmer for the Java 2 Platform
1.4, a candidate must pass one
exam, CX-310-035. Also, if you
already hold this certification
for a version prior to 1.4, there
is a one exam upgrade, CX-310-036.
