Just wanted to add my opinion with certification. I worked with java for almost around 2 years at school in various projects, but only after certification (got 88% in SCJP1.4

) I got enough confidence and faced job interviews with better confidence. So for all my friends who has the same question...i have one answer 'to feel better and do better'
Now I am in job and I want to get SCWCD, and it's hard for me to take out time for preparation and dont know how much time I need. Although SCWCD 1.4 seems good, I dont want to wait till june to get hold of a book for preparation, so I want to go for SCWCD 1.3 asap. I have around 2 yrs of experience in JSP/servlets can someone suggest me how much time and wat resources I need to get through SCWCD 1.3.
