Sorry if I am posting on the wrong forum, but I couldn't figure out where this post should go so I'll just post here. I just passed the SCJP today. javaranch has been very helpful to me, and has helped me to pass my exam. I really want to say thank you to everyone here.
I am now thinking which certification I should pursue next. I know that jCert.org has a certification path that is different from what the SUN has to offer. Other than Sun's SCJP is on the jCert path, all other SUN's certification is not included. And also I have read a post "terrible news from SUN" from Java News forum, saying that Sun microsystem is in financial risk, and that IBM will have a high chance of owning Sun if ( touch wood0 Sun does bankrupt in the future. It also seems that most of the vendor specific cerficiation exam from the jCert.org certification path is from IBM. So are these all a signal saying that it IBM certification might be a better choice?
Iam very worried that I will be making a wrong certification choice here, since I have already been spent so much time studying for just 1 certification, and I don't want to waste any time studying for a certification that will be turn out not as useful.
I also have one last question. Why does javaranch.com forum only have the certifications provided by Sun? Planning to add other certification topics in the future?
