I am a student who is just about to finish graduation in B.E. C.E. and I am looking forward to Oracle certification for Java.
I am having dilemma about the certification that is it good enough to spend few hundred dollars and take the certification from oracle. And does that few hundred bucks worth enough to make you something different in line?
Another thing is that if, in the end, I decided to take certification, which should I go after first? OCPJP or OCJA?
I am hoping for a positive reply soon.
Thank you.
Go for OCPJP, but dont expect to become a rockstar developer after it. I thought I would
. Actually, the SCJP/OCJP does not cover enough material to be of use in industry level projects. It does give you some knowledge though. You have to go way beyond the
scjp to be marketable. Are you in India? If yes, then judging the way most of our Indian colleges work, I am sure they would not have covered any useful material in your java class. And most companies know that. SCJP will certainly teach you way more than a college degree. So, from that pov, its good to have an SCJP on your resume. Makes it look more attractive. But it all boils down to how you answer interviews. Knowledge will come only from developing USEFUL code, and not toy code.
