first i'd like to thank kathy sierra and bert bates for their scjp book. ^_^
i passed the exam(i got 83%)! yay! ^_^ it was fun reading it and i learned a lot!

after i finshed with my sun certified java programmer exam, i bought head first java as a beginner's guide on networking, remote computing, etc... and now that i am done reading it, i don't know what to study next or what to do next.i dont have any i.t. background. and i plan to be a good java developer in time ^_^ thanks!

Hi Cathleen, welcome to Javaranch.

Your display name doesn't quite fit with the famous naming policy. Could you please take a minute to add a last name, preferably your real name? It's all about maintaining our professional image - don't let the one-eyed moose fool you!

Congrats on passing the exam. Have you thought about writing a bunch of code as a next step? You might check out the Cattle Drive here at javaranch.


Thanks,
Pauline

i don't know what to study next or what to do next.i dont have any i.t. background.

Simply consider:
SCWCD 1.4 by getting Kathy and Bert's Head First Servlets and JSP
SCBCD 1.3 by getting Kathy and Bert's Head First EJB
SCJD 1.4 by getting Max's SCJD with J2SE 1.4
SCMAD 1.0
SCDJWS 1.0 by getting Richard's J2EE Web Services
SCEA

I think to get SUN's certificate family is a good idea for being as a Java Developer, and I am now going in this direction.

Max's book and Richard's book are both great!
