I am working on all 3 certifications because I want to
have well balanced and polished java skills. After i
finish my java certifications I plan on working on
my redhat linux certification because linux is the most
popular server in the world 31% of servers winnt/2k 25-27%
of server market and apache as of Q2 2000 is 62 % of all
webservers!
Also the redhat
test is hands on! ( winnt/2k ) certification
is losing its value because it is not hands on.
I personally think all computer certifications should have
3 parts , 1 multichoice for testing understanding of theory and
concepts, 2 a hands on project and 3 an Essay to test that one
understands the project.
The java and redhat certification programs
are well balanced because they are hands on and multichoice.
Components of the RHCE Exam
The RHCE exam consists of 3 components:
I. Debug Exam: 2-4 challenges; 2.5 hours, performance-based (100 pts)
II. Multiple Choice Exam: 40-50 technical questions; 1.0 hour,
multi-choice answers
III. Server Install and Network Services Setup Exam: 2.5 hours,
performance-based (100 pts)
And of course the entire java certifications has 3 parts.
java programmer = multichoice
java developer = project and essay
java enterprise arch = multichoice, project and essay.
