Hi,
I have completed my SCJP 1.4 with 90% score.Presently I am working in a MNC on Siebel platform (its a kind of support and QA work not as a Developer).As I am interested at developemnt I prepared for SCJP and I have cleared it.
So what should be my next plan to become a good engineer i.e. developer.I am confident about my other programming languages also like C,C++,Java etc.

Can anybody please suggest.

Hi and congratulations on your certification!

What you need to do is practice what you have learnt when studying for the exam. If you don't get to practice at work, you need to find a project to do in your spare time. You could look for open source projects that need help for instance on sourceforge or codehaus. Or you could make your own little project.

Practice programming, review other peoples code, try to get a feel for good design and have fun!

Good luck!

Vamshi,
Why dont you go for SCJD certification.In SCJD you will get a project as an assignment which needs to be submitted to clear the exam.It will give you a good exposure of AWT/Swing,coding standards,Database knowlege ,networking concepts etc.Since SCJD is a pure assignement based you can also prepare for SCWCD or SCBCD in the due course of time.

I strongly suggest to go for SCJD.For me, after i have finished the SCJP,
i started directly preparing for the SCJD.SCJD benefits is not only restricted to programming skill, coding standards, object orientation, but i think it will teach you a scientific way of thinking.

Good luck
