Hi Seema Manivannan.
In your opinion who needs this certification? Serious programmers will opt to go for the
SCJP straight away. And I have a feeling the exam might be somewhat to technical for the ms-office-and-powerpoint-bosses around the world. Also, why would they need to know the basics of
java? I mean, why should they know how to write code using the correct operators?? What they really should know is different server technologies to understand what developers and architects in projects mean when they are trying to explain why things take time and won't be on budget. (I know the exam covers this to some extent).
The other obvious need for this exam is that it adds another SC** to your resume when you are attending the SC**-reception at JavaOne, making you eligible for a great gift if you have more certification than the majority :-)
