Hello Phil,
I decided to pass this first certification because I think it can help to find a new job (the company where i worked fell into bankruptcy the second day of march). So i decide to pass the exam immediately. I just red the book from Kathy Sierra & Bert Bates and i passed the SCJP on march the 17th.
Then i began to work at smals ... on april the 15th... And i'm now learning with you to become an architect
... It's an interesting challenge i think...
I would like to pass the Web component certification, but it 'll not be possible for the moment because i have to read some books (about ebj and architectural patterns) for your next courses at smals.
See you soon !
