Hi,
I am planning on attending the COMDEX convention in Chicago next month. Sun is offering a 2 day Java Programmer Certification course there and i was wondering if it might be useful for me to take it. I mean i know it would be useful, but maybe its geared to professional people only? Im still a student attending university, but id like to attend if possible because i would like to get my SCJP sometime after i graduate. Any ideas or suggestions?
Has anyone attended a COMDEX like convention before? And if so do you think i could attend it even though im not in the "business" yet? It looks like a great opportunity, but im not sure if id to too out of place.

See if you can get other peoples opinion of the Sun course. I did the course in 1998 , and a collegue of mine did it in 1999. We are of the view that it is a perfectly OK Java course but it did not specificly focus on the certification objectives.

The teacher will be Philip Heller. Im not sure if its the same one who writes the certification booke or not, but it could be him. Not sure if it matters, but thought id throw that in.
