After SCJP what?

Well you are now SCJP after passing the so called SCJP exam and are now wondering what to do now?
The answer is analyze. Analyze what role you will be doing while you will be coding. Will you be working on client side and working with Servlets, JSP etc. or you will be working on the server side and working with EJB’s etc.

Well in both cases, there is something that can make your resume more appealing and that is the SCWCD exam. While SCJP shows that the person has knowledge of Java, SCWCD shows that the person has knowledge of Servlets, JSP. SCWCD stands for Sun Certified Web Component Developer and current version offered by Sun is SCWCD 1.5. There is pre-requisite before one can appear for the SCWCD exam and that is the person should be SCJP which means SCJP 1.1, SCJP 1.2, SCJP 1.4 or SCJP 1.6. Whatever version of SCJP have you passed, you can always appear for the SCWCD exam.

I asked you to analyze, what will you be doing after SCJP because there is life unaware of a client-server paradigm (may be Swing or the likes)

So all those guys who fall in first category go for SCWCD and decorate your resume with that logo of SCWCD.
